🎉 It’s here. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 𝙁𝙊𝙊𝘿 𝘾𝙊𝙊𝙆𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆 launches today—a celebration of the ocean’s bounty and a roadmap for a more sustainable future.

With 145+ accessible recipes from @ChefAZ and @BartonSeaver, this book shows how the choices we make in our kitchens can restore balance to our waters and our plates.

From simple weeknight meals to bold, creative dishes (even dessert—trust!), it’s proof that cooking with care for the ocean can be joyful, delicious, and deeply meaningful.

Blue foods = foods from water. 💧

Highly nutritious, they have the potential to feed millions while supporting healthy oceans.

Ever wondered where a kelp farm begins? In coastal Alaska, it starts with seed, and Native communities are growing their own!

Every kelp farm needs seed, and remote coastal communities can have a bit of a tough time getting it.

@NativeConservancy’s Community Kelp Seed Nursery (CKSN) program is returning seed cultivation to Indigenous hands.

The nurseries are mobile and built for remote places, so communities can grow their own kelp seed, build local mariculture expertise, and maintain year-round blue-green jobs for Indigenous youth and workers who run the nurseries.

How can we reach MORE brilliant minds (especially students!) and invite them to pursue exciting careers in the sustainable blue economy?

Events like last week’s Blue Hour at @AltaSea help make this happen!

This gathering of diverse professionals celebrated the innovations happening on the water, including in responsible seafood.

LA educator @CharisseSims notes, “Beyond the incredible culinary experiences, what stood out most was AltaSea’s commitment to education and expanding opportunities for young people.

Through its Ocean STEM programs, students gain exposure to science, technology, environmental sustainability, and career pathways within the growing Blue Economy.

As educators, we know that exposure creates opportunity. Our students cannot pursue possibilities they don’t know exist, and programs like these help bridge that gap.”

It turns out the kids are MORE than alright!

They’re super eager to learn about environmental education and how they can take action in their local communities, especially through their food choices.

Dr. Kelley Le of @GradesOfGreen and Jennifer Rothman of @YellowFarmhouseCT shared what they’re witnessing firsthand through their roles as leaders in educational nonprofits on the 𝗙𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧.

Whether you’re an educator, a parent, a student, or someone who cares about the health of our planet and our youth, this conversation shows how we can connect the dots between environmental science and culinary arts in the classroom!

Level up your 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦 by baking them with dulse, a delicious (and nutritious!) type of 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗗 that makes these treats even more decadent.

The dulse adds a deep richness that even cocoa alone cannot achieve!

As Chef @BartonSeaver writes in 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 𝙁𝙊𝙊𝘿 𝘾𝙊𝙊𝙆𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆, “The dessert recipes included here are not gimmicks, nor do they include seafood just because. They are interesting culinary compositions in and of themselves.”

The recipe for these 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦 is on page 209—the perfect dessert for “trick-or-treaters” of all ages!

Have you ever had an internship or educational experience where you realized the potential impact you could have on the world?

We’re honored to be a partner of @DukeEnvironment and to have played a role in @Lululoucheim incredible summer in Iceland where she learned that her research would have a real influence on blue foods!

“@Jen_Bushman, [Executive Director & Co-founder of Fed by Blue], has deep connections across the Blue Economy, and she took the time to understand my career interests and connect me with the right people,” she recently shared. “The Iceland Ocean Cluster @sjavarklasinn was one of those connections.”

Imagine walking into a space where:

👋 Students are meeting fishermen and seaweed farmers

🔪 Chefs are experimenting with overlooked local species

💡 Entrepreneurs are transforming seafood byproducts into new foods and materials so nothing goes to waste

🔬 Scientists are sharing research with local people who live and work along the coast

🍽️ All of these groups are sitting down and tasting sustainable seafood together

This is what a seafood innovation hub could look like!

Check out our blog post to read more on how we can build these across America!
