Tour Calendar

Our journey begins at Pike Place Market and the bustling docks of Puget Sound, where wild-capture fisheries and sustainable aquaculture converge. We explore the legacy of the Pacific Northwest salmon runs and the people keeping these traditions alive.

Following the mighty Columbia River from the coast to the gorge, we document the intersection of indigenous fishing rights, dam mitigation, and the innovative hatchery programs working to restore wild salmon populations.

From Fisherman's Wharf to the research labs of Monterey Bay, San Francisco represents the cutting edge of aquatic food innovation. We explore how tech-forward aquaculture startups are partnering with century-old fishing families.

The Gulf Coast is the heartbeat of American aquatic food, producing more shrimp, oysters, and crab than anywhere else in the nation. We meet the families who have fished these waters for generations and the scientists rebuilding after storms.

Boston Harbor has fed America since before there was an America. We trace the evolution of New England fisheries from colonial cod to modern lobster management, and explore how centuries of tradition meet 21st-century science.

The Chesapeake Bay is America's greatest estuary and a living laboratory for restoration. We visit oyster reef rebuilding projects, meet the watermen who define the Bay's identity, and learn how science and tradition collaborate.

The Great Lakes hold 20% of the world's surface freshwater and support a fishing economy most Americans never see. We explore the unique challenges of freshwater fisheries management and the battle against invasive species.

Alaska produces more aquatic food than all other U.S. states combined. Our tour culminates in Kodiak, the heart of American fishing, where we witness the scale, danger, and beauty of the industry that feeds the world.
