Join Laura Orleans, Founder and Executive Director of New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center, for an engaging presentation on New Bedford’s commercial fishing industry—how seafood travels from ocean to plate, what makes the port the nation’s most valuable, and why for many, fishing is far more than just a livelihood.

With over 25 years of experience working alongside New Bedford’s maritime community, Orleans will also share the story behind the Fishing Heritage Center and its mission to preserve and present the rich culture of the fishing community through educational and cultural programming.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leader in cultural preservation and maritime storytelling.
