Something that sounds too good to be true (but isn’t!):
A New England local seafood initiative connecting fishermen, hungry Mainers, and seafood lovers across the country
Support #fishermen this #holidayseason by buying LOCAL SEAFOOD. Check social media, ask around, ask your friends, family or go down to the docks (don't forget to 😷) and ask who might be selling fish direct from their boat. localcatch.org#FridayThoughts#supportlocal
New England is set to become the future of offshore wind. How might this affect one of the region’s most lucrative fisheries? Tune into the forum hosted by @mainelobstermen to hear from industry experts. Sessions are tomorrow, Thursday, and Monday!

ATTENTION Maine seafoodies. This Wednesday, December 16, @GMRI will cover half the cost of your meals w/seafood at participating restaurants for the first 200 diners. This is a great way to support local fisheries during trying times.

The first Thanksgiving in New England would have likely consisted of a variety of fish species, from shellfish collected on-shore, to nearshore native fish species. A tradition re-born!
Haven't bought that turkey yet? Try a new tradition and cook fish instead! Fisheries are taking a hit during the pandemic and following @EatingEcosystem's "Simmering the Sea" cook book is a great opportunity to eat sustainably & help the local economy!

To understand #WorldFisheriesDay , let's break down what we should be striving for: a system that supports local diets, marine ecosystems, and livelihoods. @EatingEcosystem is a non-profit devoted to that mission in New England eatingwiththeecosystem.org/
On #WorldFisheriesDay, we honor the fish food system for its contributions to local economies, diets, and culture. Eat a fish and know its story! #eatingwiththeecosystem
Most consumers know about overfishing as the primary source of fishery decline.
However, non-fishing impacts can be just as damaging and more difficult to regulate. Become equipped with the state of the science and steps you can take as a consumer:
