| The Wild Caught Seafood and Music Festival takes place off the Straits in Gloucester, NC and is coordinated and staffed through volunteers from all over the Down East community.
Wild Caught celebrates all things local and works directly with local food providers to ensure that the produce and seafood served at the event is local.
Did you know that over 90% of seafood consumed in the US is imported from other countries? This has huge impacts on water quality and the quality of life in our coastal community.
“The Wild Caught Seafood and Music Festival is about local foods, music, and Down East NC heritage. I am so happy that you and the folks at Coastal Carolina Riverwatch could attend and I am so grateful for the work you’ve been doing to protect water quality, especially the focus areas from these last three years.”
– Barbara Blake, Wild Caught Coordinator
