In Oregon, a Local Seafood Movement Connects Consumers to the Coast

• Ninety percent of the seafood sold and consumed in Oregon is imported. Meanwhile, much of the seafood caught off the Oregon coast is exported.
• The Winter Waters event series aims to reverse that paradigm through consumer education and helping build infrastructure for producers.
• The series is led by women in the seafood community. It features an industry conference that’s also open to the public, plus seminars, panel discussions, workshops, dinners, and field trips.
• Every series connects attendees to the bounty of the Oregon coast while supporting local fishers and creators of seafood products.
