Mr. Beutel will guide us through the questions that lead to the answers to sustainable seafood in the future.
· Dr. Lori Pivarnik, Coordinator, Food Safety Education/Research, Nutrition and Food Sciences Department of URI on "Be Happy, Eat Seafood" Dr. Pivarnik will give an overview on the health benefits of seafood and why what you're not eating can hurt you.
