Hi,

We will be holding our 6th annual pizza taste off Wednesday, April 3rd, 5:30-7:30 at the Cruiseport Gloucester. Tickets are $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for children 5 and under. Tickets are limited to 300 and will be available at the door. All proceeds will benefit Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.

Maritime Gloucester will be hosting a program on Sustainable Seafood Choices on Thursday, March 21st at 7pm at the Gorton’s Seafood Gallery at Maritime Gloucester, 23 Harbor Loop. Join Allison McHale, from NOAA’s Fish Watch and Heather Tausig from the New England Aquarium’s Ocean Friendly Seafood Program who will discuss international trends in the development of sustainable seafood programs, partnerships with restaurants and seafood companies and discuss these two consumer-oriented seafood informational programs. This is a must attend for seafood consumers who wish to know more about sustainable seafood guides and the emerging — and some say dizzying — world of seafood labeling schemes. Hosted by Maritime Gloucester. Sponsored by Turner’s Seafood. The event is free to the public. Seating is limited, however, so arrive early.
