Support our efforts
Our work is supported by these local leaders:
Seacoast Local is devoted to educating the Seacoast about the community benefits of directing more of our money locally, in order to increase our region’s economic, community and environmental strength. Our role is to be the forum where locally owned, independent businesses come together to lead this transformation, within their own business and in partnership with our community.

Local Fish Benefit Dinner! Our upcoming event is a benefit dinner co-hosted by Granite State Fish and Seacoast Local's ReRootEd local food program. The evening will entail learning opportunities about the state of the local fishing industry. Area chefs, fisherman and researchers will be present as guests—join the conversation and learn about the hurdles and opportunities for our local economy. And, the Advanced Food and Beverage Management students from the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire will provide an excellent three course dinner featuring local seafood—off the docks to your plate. Proceeds will go towards Seacoast Local efforts to develop the marginal species market for NH Fishermen by connecting local chefs to local fish, identifying barriers and solutions, and providing educational and outreach resources to our community.
