Winter Waters is an Oregon-born initiative dedicated to promoting seaweed as a superfood culinary ingredient and enhancing local Oregon coast food systems. Our mission is to bridge the gap between consumers and sustainable seafood sources through education and shared meals.
The state of Oregon boasts some of the most sustainable fisheries in the world, yet much of the seafood produced is exported, and a significant portion of consumed seafood is imported (about 90%!). There is a disconnect between the people and the process and we’d like to help bridge this gap through education and delicious culinary experiences.
Saturday, March 1st, 2-6pm — Mr. Ed’s Underground Pub, Port Orford, OR
Join us in Port Orford for a fun, free, family-friendly event at Mr. Ed’s Underground Pub. Come enjoy an afternoon celebrating local seafare and the people who make it all possible. We'll have a marine touch tank, folks from the seafood industry presenting information, seafood processing demos, and Pacific Dulse seaweed cooking demo + tasting. Bring the whole family and order seaweed-specials from the Mr. Ed’s menu.
This is a free event, but we ask you to get tickets so we know how many people to expect.
Event schedule:
2-6pm: Partner Presentations: Non profits, community partners will be presenting information about their organizations. Walk around the room and talk to seafood and conservation leaders. Think touch tank with urchins, seafood bites, and kids activities.
