A panel discussion exploring efforts in Connecticut and throughout New England working to sustain our coastal watershed will follow. Panelists will share the ways consuming ‘overlooked’ and invasive species of fish and shellfish are essential to preserving a healthy ecosystem, and how Long Island Sound enhances cultural connection, and a sense of place.
