As the first month of the New Year is nearing its end, we are getting ready for another fish filled year, and we cannot wait to celebrate local seafood with you all!
We have big news! The Governor recommends an increase of $100,000 in general revenue to support the Rhode Island Seafood Marketing Collaborative, which works with local fishers, seafood producers, and small businesses to increase awareness and consumption of local catch. The funding would be used to partner with the Atlantic Fisheries Management Council, the leading expert organization on fisheries management and economics, to run public information and engagement campaigns with the goal of increasing economic activity in the fisheries and fishing sectors.
