The seafood industry has been challenged in recent years by external factors, including the influx of lower priced seafood from international markets, the long-term impacts from the oil spill, and potential damage to fisheries from diversions. There have been recent efforts to support the industry, including workforce development and direct marketing initiatives; however, challenges remain. This workshop will discuss the legacy of the seafood industry and lessons learned from recent initiatives that can be used to support commercial fishing in the future. Click Here for More Info
