Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust

Chef Diego Felix of Colectivo Felix talks about why the work we are doing at the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust is important to him. Bringing fresh, local ingredients to the table, and using our ocean resources wisely are essential factors to Diego as a chef in our community.

We've made great progress towards our goal of raising $60,000, with 29 generous donors contributing a total of $38,795 so far! We're more than halfway there, but we still need your help to make our vision of more local fish on local plates a reality. ow.ly/C4jO50QjlJJ

We’re celebrating #nationalseafoodmonth with a shout out to all our local harvesters, markets, and chefs! Thanks @fvsangiovanni, @Montereyfishermansmarket, @sweetwaterfisheries, @hhfreshfish, @ocean2table, @seaharvest, @realgoodfish, @maligne @homesoquel and more!

To help celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we took a dive into the history of Monterey Bay’s first fisherfolk, namely the Rumsen and Amah Mutsun. Despite unspeakable crimes against them, the Ohlone people remain, keeping their culture, community and ancestral memories alive.

@CASeaGrant @OregonSeaGrant @SantaCruzHarbor @OregonState We are grateful for your partnership, see you at the next one! 🙌
