About the Program
Let’s Talk Seafood & Eat It Too! is a public education program to improve understanding between consumers (local community), industry (shellfish farming/aquaculture) and Vancouver Island Post-Secondary Institutions (students and researchers) towards building support for shellfish aquaculture and related research. LTS also provides experiential learning opportunities to students which contributes to workforce attraction. LTS addresses domestic seafood consumption by increasing consumers’ knowledge on the culinary preparation of shellfish through tips, recipes, and discussions with chefs.
