The Whaling City Seafood Display Auction and the Boston Seafood Display Auction announce The Project to Save Seafood and Ocean Resources and the website SavingSeafood.org. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Saving Seafood Project will also operate in New Bedford and Boston.
For over a decade, the boat owners, captains, and fishermen who sell their product through these auctions have demonstrated a commitment to the preservation of the resource which has provided their livelihood, and that of their New England forebears. Members of our regional scientific and university communities, notably the School for Marine Science and Technology at the marine campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, have been at the forefront of marine-related issues and technological development. Saving Seafood will endeavor to amplify and strengthen these efforts by:
- working closely with scholars to develop and disseminate quality scientific information;
- communicating with media and the public on matters of interest to the industry;
- fostering cooperation and communication among members of the fishing community;
- cooperating with lawmakers to implement the stated intent of our fisheries management law which requires "taking into account the social and economic needs of the States." [Magnusen-Stevens Act (2)(b)(5), Public Law 101-627].
The Project's website at http://www.savingseafood.org will be updated throughout each workday with the latest fishing industry news, focusing on these areas:
- Economic Impact
- Science
- Management & Regulation
- International & Trade
- Congress
- Legal
- Conservation & Environment
- Nutrition
- State Capitols
A daily update will be available via email, and alerts will be sent when major develoments warrant attention. Users can sign up for daily updates using the "subscribe" button in the site's navigation bar.
