Get your food from the sea and your energy from the sun!
"Eat Seafood Go Solar" is a growing movement of fishermen, seafood businesses, and seafood lovers who are embracing rooftop solar as a fishery friendly energy alternative. Unlike other energy sources - which may damage ocean ecosystems through climate change, ocean acidification, or industrial activity - rooftop solar has no emissions and takes place on the already-developed footprint of homes and businesses. Solar also cuts energy costs, keeps dollars in the local community, and creates more jobs than any other renewable energy technology. Sunlight powers the ecosystems that sustain our wild seafood; now it can power our homes and businesses too!
Commercial fishermen are going solar!
Professional seafood harvesters have an enduring relationship with the sea and a longterm commitment to its resilience. In this video, three New England commercial fishermen share what motivated them to go solar and what they learned along the way.
