Recent changes in fisheries management are providing an opportunity that could return fresh fish to our towns. The speakers will focus on the innovative work that Penobscot East is doing to ensure a future for eastern Maine fishing communities, while supporting the dock-to-consumer supply of fresh, locally caught seafood for area residents.

The talk is sponsored by Blue Hill Co-op Community Market and Cafe.
