The Seafood Summit brings together global representatives from the seafood industry and conservation community for in-depth discussions, presentations and networking with the goal of making the seafood marketplace environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. Therefore, it is critical that fishermen have a presence at this global event. CFA has organized a tour for Seafood Summit attendees to the port of Ballard, WA, where they will have the opportunity to explore the docks and speak with local fishermen. The culture of the fishing community will be front and center as the history of the halibut fishery, dynamics of international management and socioeconomics are presented by local management officials.
