A group of experts including Ocean Strategies Principal Brett Veerhusen, Gulf Reef Fish Shareholders' Alliance Deputy Director Eric Brazer Jr., J.J. McDonnell & Co Business Development Manager Stephanie Pazzaglia, and New England Young Fishermen's Alliance Founder and Executive Director Andrea Tomlinson took on the topic in a panel advertised as follows:
Across the United States, working waterfronts are facing substantial challenges and shakeups in both workforce and infrastructure.
In this panel, we'll discuss how vulnerabilities in the fisheries and maritime workforce and waterfront infrastructure are tied to the success of domestic seafood production. We'll also cover the related issue of waterfront infrastructure erosion. A review of the causes and impacts of these trends will be followed by a discussion of what market, policy and community-based strategies are helping to reinforce and reinvigorate working waterfronts, and where retailers, distributors and producers or sustainable domestic seafood are able to collaborate around those solutions.
The 2025 Seafood Expo North America, which took place 15 to 17 March in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., featured a comprehensive conference program of live panel events focusing on topics chosen to be of vital interest to the seafood industry.
