The Pacific Northwest seafood industry — retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, and individual consumers — has made big changes to their fish purchasing and consumption habits as a result of pandemic disruptions. Join a webinar hosted by ATNI-EDC and CRITFC to hear presentations on what these adaptations mean to Native fishers, a refresher on food safety and handling, and discussions on direct marketing and accessing co-ops and other markets. These topics will inform and empower tribal fishers, in the hopes of achieving more successful outcomes through the 2022 season and beyond.
