Celebrating Sustainable Seafood, the video of the RI Sea Grant 2011 Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium, highlights the best of the symposium, "Developing the Rhode Island Seafood Knowledge Economy: Perspectives on Seafood Sustainability" and is available for viewing at the above link. The symposium brought together an international group of scientists, chefs, the seafood industry, and others to share perspectives on topics such as sourcing sustainable seafood, consumer preferences, and health. Participants got to prepare—and taste—sustainable seafood dishes under the guidance of chefs at the Johnson & Wales University campus in Providence. The symposium was sponsored by JWU, Rhode Island Sea Grant, and the University of Rhode Island.
