Americans continue to enjoy seafood. Per-capita consumption increased in 2002 by over 7% from the year before, to an average of 15.6 lbs per person (National Fisheries Institute, news release September 10, 2003, www.nfi.org). This increase is partially attributed to the publication of nutritional guidelines that encourage seafood consumption as part of a healthy diet. However, the general public and food service professionals are often confused by media reports and misinformation on seafood safety, quality, and availability. Consumers need a reliable and current source of information on these and other seafood topics. The Virginia Sea Grant Seafood Education Program at VIMS helps meet this need by communicating current research information on seafood in an interesting, useful, and timely manner through workshops and seminars, cooking demonstrations, professional development programs for chefs, and this website.
