Description: SMAST, UMass Dartmouth Dining Services, & special guest, Kate Masury of Eating with the Ecosystem invite you to the public discussion on the "Eat Like a Fish citizen science project."
The project's newly released results show that although over a hundred edible wild seafood species thrive in the salty waters off New England's shores, most of them are remarkably difficult to find for purchase at local seafood counters.
Marketing Director for UMass Dartmouth Dining Services Kirby Roberts, Executive Chef Kevin Gibbons, and Director of Operations Nancy Wiseman will discuss work to feature underused local seafood resources on campus dining facilities in the region.
Presentations by UMass Dartmouth faculty and students during the event will share current research to consider ecological, economic, and societal factors when developing and evaluating management strategies for marine ecosystems, and the role of technological and market innovation in sustaining fishery resources.
The discussion will be moderated by UMass Dartmouth and SMAST Assistant Professor of Fisheries Oceanography Dr. Gavin Fay. UMass Dartmouth Dining Services will prepare a menu of small, local bites for attendees to sample at the beginning of the event.
The event is free and open to the public and will take place from 6:00-8:00 pm at the new SMAST-East building, located at 836 South Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA.
Questions about the event can be directed to Dr. Gavin Fay at gfay@umassd.edu
