Local Seafood and the Supply Chain
The Sounding Line | Mar 1, 2022
In this episode of The Sounding Line, we learn about the importance of prioritizing and sourcing local seafood.

We need to level the playing field in the massive global seafood marketplace. Many people care about maintaining working waterfronts in this region long into the future, and the region’s industry should be rewarded when seafood is responsibly harvested and traceable.
In this episode, you'll get to hear from Andrea O'Donnell, Sustainability Coordinator at Ipswich Shellfish Group, and Doug Winslow, Sodexo Executive Chef at the University of Maine-Farmington. Andrea and Doug spend the episode having a candid conversation about the importance of prioritizing local seafood in the massive global seafood marketplace. They discuss what buying local means, the value of supporting Gulf of Maine fishermen and coastal communities, and why highlighting underutilized species is a win for everyone.
