10th Annual Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium, Developing the Rhode Island Seafood Knowledge Economy: Perspectives on Seafood Sustainability

This symposium was held at the Save the Bay building and at the Johnson and Wales University Center for Culinary Excellence in Providence. The three day event brought together scientists, fisherman, aquaculture professionals, chefs, and restaurant owners to discuss innovations and challenges in the Rhode Island seafood industry and to explore how knowledge about sustainable seafood makes its way from producer to consumer. SustainaMetrix was brought in to create a short documentary of the Symposium and the Rhode Island Seafood Knowledge Economy that the event addressed. The team filmed the talks and discussions, hands-on meal preparation, and seafood tastings that made up the symposium, but also interviewed the key attendees to get a more in depth look at the Rhode Island seafood economy and community. We will post the documentary when it is completed, and in the meantime we invite you to view the photos below that we took during filming.
