Join Eating with the Ecosystem and the United Theater at “the UNITED Table” for our next collaboration – From Reel to Meal: A Conversation on the Seafood Industry. There was a great amount of interest at our last event from the public looking to be better informed about the commercial fishing industry and the complexities involved in getting the seafood you love from the water to your plate. We have put together a fantastic panel which will be led by EWTE board member Harry Rosenblum to discuss what is going on in New England around seafood and how fisheries are managed, fish processing, and sales and availability of our favorite and most delicious natural resource.
