Join Oregon Sea Grant experts on a guided walk along the commercial docks in Newport.
Learn where to find local seafood, what's in season, how it's caught, if it's sustainable, and how to purchase high-quality seafood. Learn about Oregon's vibrant commercial fishing industry and the delicious, nutritious and sustainable seafood they bring back to the dock. We might even meet a fisherman or two along the way!
