In February, we announced the launch of an all-new Gulf of Maine Tastemakers program, which unites our retail, restaurant, and institutional sustainable seafood partners under one banner.
These like-minded businesses and institutions are committed to supporting local coastal communities by putting local seafood front and center — in the seafood case, restaurant menu, serving line, and cafeteria tray.
Participants in the program demonstrate their commitment to building awareness and demand for local seafood by committing to source 35% local seafood by 2025. Together, they are working toward a vision of resilient coastal communities that grow and catch a diversity of responsibly harvested seafood to help combat challenges that impact our health, climate, and regional economy.
"Even in New England, where we have a long history and culture of local seafood, our catch is overshadowed in the local marketplace by inexpensive, imported seafood. We’re grateful to the 100-plus partners who are prioritizing local seafood to support healthy ocean ecosystems and thriving coastal communities."
Kyle Foley Sustainable Seafood Director
