SeafoodSource.com has undergone a bit of a makeover.
On Thursday, the Web site, which celebrates its one-year anniversary in about a month, introduced some updates. The headlines on the home page are static and easier to navigate. Simply click on the headline or the image to view the article.
Also, to the left of each article is a list of all the headlines found on the home page (look under “World Headlines”). This makes it easier for readers to find the brand-new articles that appeared on the site each day. We hope this subtle but important modification makes it easier for you to view the day’s news.
In addition improving the site’s appearance and ease-of-use, SeafoodSource is introducing premium content in the form of webinars and industry reports.
The next webinar is coming right up: On Thursday, SeafoodSource is hosting a webinar regarding three new requirements for U.S. seafood importers and exporters, all with the potential to curb distribution channels.
Click here if you’re interested in learning more about the European Union’s catch-certificate rule, the Transportation Safety Administration’s certified cargo screening program and Customs & Border Protection’s “10+2” rule. Presenting the webinar are Tim Hansen, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s seafood inspection program; Gary Lupinacci, assistant branch chief of the TSA’s certified cargo screening program; and Susan Kohn Ross, a lawyer specializing in international trade at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP.
We’ve not only modified the site, but we’ve also added to our editorial team: Jason Holland, former editor of Seafood International and Seafood Processor, brings 20 years of international business-to-business journalism experience to the SeafoodSource editorial team. SeafoodSource now boasts eight contributing editors worldwide, in addition to its staff editors. Click here to view their bios.
Jason is based in London. His first column, “Slow recovery for UK retailers,” debuted on 22 January.
On behalf of the SeafoodSource editorial team and everyone involved in creating and maintaining the site, thank you for making SeafoodSource your daily source of free news, insight and opinion on the global seafood trade. It’s been a pleasure bringing you the news, and I’m looking forward to 2010.
Best,
Steven Hedlund
