Subject: [COMFOOD:] Greenmarket Educated Eater Panel: Local Seafood, 3/13, NYC

Greenmarket's Educated Eater series presents Off The Hook: Why Local
Seafood is Sustainable

Saturday, March 13th from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm at 92Y Tribeca

Do you want to know what fish are sustainable to eat? Are you confused
by pocket seafood guides and competing certification labels? Do you
wonder if any fish sold at farmer's markets are overfished?
Greenmarket will bring together fishermen, a regulatory agent, a
marine advocate, and a chef to help untangle these questions and talk
about what's being done to promote sustainable fishing practices and
why it's important to support our local fishing families and
communities.

Moderated by Colin Alevras former Chef of the Tasting Room and
currently Beverage Director for David Chang's Momofuku restaurants,
and including: Greenmarket fishermen Alex and Stephanie Villani of
Blue Moon Fish http://bluemoonfish.com/; Glen Bickelman of American
Seafood; Christopher M. Moore, Chief of the Partnerships and
Communications Division in the office of Sustainable Fisheries at NOAA
Fisheries Service http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/; and Niaz Dorry,
Director of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA)
http://www.namanet.org/

Light local snacks and New York State wine will be served.

Tickets are $10 and available at 92Ytribeca.org/talks or through the
box office at 212-601-1000.

92Y Tribeca is located at 200 Hudson Street, at Canal.
