USC Sea Grant is invested in supporting aquaculture to maintain sustainable and equitable local seafood access across the Greater Los Angeles area. As part of an ongoing initiative in aquaculture to advance these efforts, USC Sea Grant has joined aquaculture producers Holdfast Aquaculture and Santa Barbara Mariculture, along with community organization Community Services Unlimited, to create the South Central LA Sustainable Seafood Hub.

On Saturday, November 11th, 2023, the South Central Sustainable Seafood Fest brought the Los Angeles community together to celebrate and learn about sustainably harvested seafood through cooking demonstrations from local chefs and family-friendly activities.
