PORTLAND, Me. – What does the average consumer know when it comes to buying Maine fish and why hasn’t the Buy Local movement had more impact on Maine seafood?

Following the presentations, representatives from the Farm to Institution New England, Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Maine Dayboat Scallops, and Slow Fish will explore challenges and opportunities of marketing Maine seafood to consumers and institutions.

The Maine Fishermen’s Forum will be held Friday, March 6, 2015, 9:00–10:30am at the Samoset Resort & Inn in Rockport, Maine.
