Hope is in the Water Screening + Panel
Saturday, February 8th, 5-8pm — Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, Cannon Beach, OR
Join us for a deep dive and screening of Hope is in the Water, a PBS series about the Blue Foods industry that features kelp farming, urchin ranching, sustainable shrimp farms, and more! A very uplifting docu-series made by Fed by Blue, a nonprofit working to uplift the aquaculture and mariculture industry.
Upon arrival, guests will enjoy an array of seafood bites, drinks, and an opportunity to mingle before our 20-minute screening. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion featuring local experts in the blue foods industry: Jen Bushman (Fed By Blue), Julie Kuchepatov (Seafood and Gender Equality), Carl Hendrickson (Oregon Kelp Alliance). Panel will be moderated by Winter Waters co-founder, Alanna Kieffer of Shifting Tides and Oregon Seaweed.
Your ticket includes one seaweed mocktail crafted by Dappled Tonic or a glass of wine from Cooper Mountain Wines. Additionally, seaweed focaccia from Tastebud and tinned fish from Tiny Fish Co. will be available by donation (cash or Venmo accepted).
We highly recommend you make a day of it by attending our Seaweed Cyanotypes workshop before the screening. Learn more HERE.

Jane is known for her focus on Japanese comfort food and will be offering seasonal bounties of the Pacific Northwest with Winter Waters bento boxes (which we fell in love with after last year!).

About Us
Winter Waters is an Oregon-born initiative dedicated to promoting seaweed as a superfood culinary ingredient and enhancing local Oregon coast food systems. Our mission is to bridge the gap between consumers and sustainable seafood sources through education and shared meals.
Each February, Winter Waters collaborates with chefs and tastemakers to celebrate sustainable seafood, with an emphasis on seaweed. The state of Oregon boasts some of the most sustainable fisheries in the world, yet much of the seafood produced is exported, and a significant portion of consumed seafood is imported (about 90%!). There is a disconnect between the people and the process and we’d like to help bridge this gap through education and delicious culinary experiences.
