Hello seaweed and ocean enthusiasts,

I am excited to share that Slow Food USA is hosting the first-ever virtual Slow Fish gathering in March of 2021! The gathering is an online collective of fish harvesters, folks in and around the seafood supply chain, experts, and enthusiasts from across North America and around the world working to create more direct and equitable seafood systems.

Between March 18-27, this virtual gathering will consist of 6 days of interactive programming including ‘Deep Dive’ discussions on critical issues, World Café roundtables, Marketplace of Ideas, music, poetry and more ways to connect, collaborate, and celebrate Slow Fish! I am personally speaking during the Deep Dive: Aquaculture session scheduled for March 25th at 9:30am PT. In particular, I will explore protecting wild seaweed ecosystems in light of a growing, industrial-scale seaweed aquaculture industry. I encourage you to tune in for all of the wonderful discussions and presentations that Slow Fish 2021 will be offering. If you are interested please head over to https://slowfoodusa.org/slow-fish/slow-fish-2021/ and check out what else will be going on and sign up!

Very best,

Amanda
