🐟✨ From the water to the kitchen, we're proud to be part of this conversation.

Chef Steve and Megan Sorby of Pine Island Redfish recently partnered on a piece about the future of seafood in Florida, and it's one worth reading. Responsible aquaculture isn't just a policy issue — it's a food issue, a community issue, and honestly, a dinner table issue.

We've seen firsthand what it looks like when farmers and chefs work together to bring traceable, high-quality seafood from water to plate. The MARA Act would help make more of that possible — and what matters is how it gets there. Growth only where it's environmentally appropriate, guided by science and data to determine where, how, and whether offshore aquaculture should expand at all. It's the same standard the world's leading aquaculture countries are already applying, and it's the right one for Florida, too.

That's exactly the kind of future we want to be part of shaping — from the coast to the kitchen.

“I think we’ve become almost like an educational restaurant. So people kind of expect to leave here with a little bit of knowledge."

Around 2000, local chefs started a movement that transformed restaurants and the bond between chefs and farmers
