No one cares more about our waters than those that work the sea! Thank you to Captain Kevin Norton Miss Emily Food Truck, Scituate Harbormaster and the Town of Scituate DPW transfer station for removing and responsibly disposing of marine debris. Grateful for these dedicated stewards 🌎 🌊🫍

In our work supporting local fisheries, Local Catch 143 has come to recognize that volatile market prices, often inadequate processing facilities and a marketplace saturated by imports pose challenges that past legislation was never intended to address. This is why we enthusiastically welcome the creation of a US Office of Seafood, and of a formal cross-agency collaboration with the US Department of Commerce where fisheries management authority presently resides.

Over the past five years, USDA has invested over $31 billion into food system programs designed to optimize productivity and improve food security for consumers. Fisheries need to become an integral part of this network. Local Catch 143 looks forward to participating in the implementation of this long-awaited strategy. We are looking for community members to assist with business planning and product development to more effective engage in the evolving marketplace. Please reach out!
