Sustainable Seafood Isn’t Just for People
Michelle Cho and Jennifer Goldstein
Sustainable Fisheries, Conservation Department, New England Aquarium
7 p.m.

More and more people are asking where their seafood is coming from and how it was caught or raised. But this question is also being asked about the seafood that we feed to the countless animals that we care for. In 2009, the New England Aquarium's Conservation Department completed an internal study of the species fed to the Aquarium's animals. Learn about these species and the challenges of balancing sustainability with the needs of the Aquarium's most finicky eaters with wild fisheries specialists Jennifer Goldstein and Michelle Cho

Editorial Comment: I've heard Dominique Eade sing a few times, always with great enjoyment, jammed years ago at parties with Warren Senders, and know Mili Bermejo by her fine reputation and from running into her at the local stores from time to time. They are three great musicians and teachers united for an important cause. If you can, please come to the concert.
