Raising Shrimp

Event date/time: 
Thursday, December 17, 2015 - 6:30pm to 8:30pm

Screening of the documentary “Raising Shrimp,” co-produced by Andy Danylchuk, assistant professor of environmental conservation, Thursday, Dec. 17, 6:30-8:30 p.m. The film explores why our food come from so far away? Shrimp is the most popular seafood in the United States, where more than one billion pounds are consumed each year. But 90 percent of it is imported, and most of that is farmed not wild caught. What are we really eating, and is it our only choice? How do they farm shrimp? Is it safe to eat? What happened to the American shrimp fishery?  What could a more local shrimp mean for our health, and the health of our nation? Is such a thing even possible?
