“Fishing families and others from coastal communities are looking for opportunities to earn more income from our local seafood,” said Marine Extension Agent Thomas Hymel, with Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter. “This workshop will focus on the basics of what it takes to produce value-added seafood safely and profitably.”

The workshop is part of the Louisiana Direct Seafood program (http://LouisianaDirectSeafood.com), an economic sustainability initiative administered by Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter.  Its mission is to build new business models that provide financial stability to the Louisiana seafood commercial harvesting sector by connecting coastal fishermen directly with consumers and to build community support for fresh, local seafood products.
