SEA Maine Video Highlights Women in Maine’s Seafood Industry

 



Increasingly, more and more women are not only entering the seafood industry, but innovating and leading.  SEA Maine, or the Seafood Economic Accelerator for Maine, is an industry-led initiative bringing together leaders in Maine’s commercial fishing, aquaculture, seafood and marine economy. Funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, with match funding from MTI and FocusMaine, the statewide initiative developed a Roadmap and action plan for economic growth, market and workforce development, and greater resiliency in Maine’s seafood economy.  One of its projects was the development of 7 workforce attraction videos, one of which highlights women in the seafood industry. We felt this was a perfect time to share this video with you – we hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
