Documentary Premiere: Seafood Nation

You are cordially invited to the premiere of "Seafood Nation" — a compelling short documentary by Bahamian filmmaker Matt McCoy.

From grouper fingers to conch salad, stew, and boiled fish, seafood is more than just a meal in The Bahamas. It is woven into our culture, identity, and livelihoods.

Our marine resources, from sea to serving plate, drive our economy and inspire our culture. If managed with care, they will provide for generations to come. Seafood Nation explores these deep connections through the voices of local fishers, vendors, consumers, managers, and scientists, sparking a vital conversation about the future of our fisheries.

Don’t miss this opportunity to witness how science and storytelling come together to highlight the significance of seafood for our small island developing nation.
