Cultivating vibrant community-based seafood systems and the people, businesses, and organizations that support them
Our Four Areas of Work
In pursuit of our mission and vision LCN focuses on four areas:
1
Building Community
Foster meaningful connections and long-lasting relationships among network members so that they are supported and empowered to create transformative change in the seafood system.
2
Providing Technical Assistance
Develop and deliver relevant and accessible tools, trainings, and resources that network members can utilize to strengthen local seafood businesses, communities, and cultures.
3
Raising the Profile
Amplify research, local and traditional knowledge, and stories that bring visibility to the importance of community-based fisheries and highlight opportunities for change in the seafood system.
4
Facilitating Change
Empower members to effectively engage in local, regional, and national processes that impact the seafood system and advocate for systemic changes.
LCN is a hub for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation in support of local and community-based seafood systems. Members of LCN live and work in communities across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Indigenous territories.
