Come join us at The Lodge at Gulf State Park for the 2025 Local Catch Network Summit!
The 2025 Local Seafood Summit is a practitioner-centric gathering for all those who are working to strengthen community-based seafood systems at the local, regional, and national scales. The summit aims to foster new connections, facilitate knowledge exchange, and create space for strategic dialogue about the tools, services, research, and policies needed to elevate the role of seafood in food systems and support resilient and vibrant coastal communities. Seafood harvesters, entrepreneurs, researchers, decision-makers, and community change-agents are welcome.
