KEEP more LOCAL SEAFOOD LOCAL
Oregon’s Ocean Cluster Initiative
Oregon’s seafood often goes directly from harvest to plane, bypassing Oregon communities. Keeping more local seafood local enhances the environment, economic development, public health, and human rights.
The Oregon Ocean Cluster Initiative is working to shift this dynamic and make local seafood easier to find and buy through development of wholesale buyers clubs, cooperative marketing, and shared infrastructure. Join us on this mission!
background
90% of the seafood sold and consumed on the Oregon coast is imported from distant domestic and foreign markets while most Oregon-caught seafood is immediately exported.
Oregon fishers, processors, and distributors need resources and partnerships to secure effective and reliable purchasing. The Ocean Cluster Initiative aims to help make these resources more readily available across the Oregon coast.
