Although the national media attention has shifted from the oil spill in the gulf there are still concerns that the seafood that comes from that area is unsafe to eat. As it turns out, those concerns are without merit as the government has reopened the area to commercial fishing.
The following video is narrated at the beginning by FELC member Randy Cheramie and starts with a brief summary of the oil spill and how the ecosystem has had a remarkable recovery. There are also chefs talking about how they use gulf seafood in their restaurants and the Dine America 2010 program to promote the industry. This video would make a great case study for students to debate in a purchasing class -- to purchase or not to purchase gulf seafood!
