The future of San Diego Bay’s remaining working fishing harbors are currently being determined by the Port of San Diego’s Central Embarcadero “Seaport” development project. On April 13th, San Diego Food Systems Alliance is convening the region’s most important stakeholders to explore a better way forward. San Diego Bay’s fishing harbors are a longstanding lynchpin of the Bay’s working waterfront.
Will commercial fishermen and aquaculturists have a place in this reimagined waterfront?
A local seafood system has many benefits to the region, including providing high quality jobs, maintaining San Diego’s fishing heritage, improving local food security, incentivizing protection of marine ecosystems, generating economic activity, promoting education, and tourism. Commercial fishermen and aquaculturists of San Diego are important food producers of our regional foodshed.
Through aligning visions and supporting growth, San Diego has the opportunity to become leaders in domestic commercial seafood production for the 21st Century. As San Diego gazes towards the future, join the conversation among local decision makers, industry leaders, and subject matter experts. Together, we can chart a path forward that models a “Win – Win – Win” waterfront redevelopment.
Distinguished speakers and panelists:
- San Diego County First District Supervisor Greg Cox
- Kip Howard, President, Allegis Development, representing Seaport (selected Central Embarcadero development group)
- Kelly Fukushima, fisherman representative
- Rafael Castellanos, Port Commissioner Vice Chairman
- Dr. Theresa Talley, Coastal Specialist, California Sea Grant Extension Program, Scripps Institution of Oceanography

Farm & Hangout is an annual summer series at Coastal Roots Farm on the third Thursday of Summer months. From 4:30-7pm the Farm is an open, relaxing, and lively place to visit with family, friends, and to make new connections. Each month there’s local music, local food vendors and trucks, farm and gardening activities for all ages, farm tour, and opportunities to learn more about the farm and how one can be involved.
Farm & Hangout intersects with our regular pay-what-you-can Farm Stand hours so you can purchase produce for the weekend, as well as meet our farmers!
We’re kicking off the summer with the lively tunes of Coral Bells, a six-piece folky amalgamation of Southern California beach dwellers.
