A conference being organized by the Delaware Sea Grant College Program will help shape the seafood consumption message for health care providers and consumers. “Framing the Message About Seafood” will take place Sept. 20–21, at the University of Delaware’s John M. Clayton Hall Conference Center in Newark.
The event will convene stakeholders such as dieticians, nutritionists, seafood professionals, environmental scientists, and health care and public health professionals. It will focus on the issues and implications of current messaging efforts related to seafood consumption, with the goal of making recommendations for the implementation of a new science-based message.
“There are a number of seafood guides and other advisories out there about seafood that health care providers and others give to consumers,” said Doris Hicks, event organizer and seafood technology specialist with Delaware Sea Grant. “They detail the risks and benefits of seafood and provide other information about integrating fish and shellfish into a healthy diet.”
