Community Supported Fisheries on The Climate Hawk Companion

We've finished our second "Climate Hawk's Companion," and we had a great time talking with Ben Cowie-Haskell, the leader of MCAN Chapter Sustainable South Shore, and one of the driving forces behind SoSsexi... (Now that's a way to drive up web traffic!) In all seriousnes, Sossexi is the nickname of the South Shore Seafood Exchange, a new community supported fishery on the South Shore of Massachusetts.   You can visit their site and check out their program, get a few recipes, and sign up here. While subscription community supported agriculture programs have been around for several decades, it appears this kind of program is new for fishing, according to this The New York Times story about the first community supported fishery, Port Clyde Fresh Catch in Maine. To find a community supported fishery near you, check out the locator on LocalCatch.org. In addition to helping get Sossexi off the ground, Sustainable South Shore has been busy getting ready for the second annual South Shore Celebration, which is happening thie Saturday, October 6th at the Marshfield fairgrounds.  This wonderful event focuses on sustainable living and local food.  This year's edition features a seafood "throw-down" between two great chefs competing against each other to prepare the most delicious meal based off a mystery fish!  (Think Iron Chef goes South Shore.)  For more information on the celebration, check out their website here. And if you live on the South Shore and want to get involved with a truly excellent group doing great work on climate change and sustainability, check out Sustainable South Shore's website. Thanks for listening, and remember: for these reasons, the United States should put a price on carbon!
