Catanese Classics Joins The National Fisheries Institute

We are so excited to have recently become a member of the National Fisheries Institute! NFI is a non-profit organization dedicated to education about seafood safety, sustainability, and nutrition. From vessels at sea to your favorite seafood restaurant, NFI’s diverse member companies bring fish and shellfish to American families.

NFI and its members are committed to sustainable management of our oceans and being stewards of our environment by endorsing the United Nations Principles for Responsible Fisheries. NFI’s investment in our oceans today will provide our children and future generations the health benefits of a plentiful supply of fish and seafood tomorrow.

In addition to joining NFI back in 2023, we are also excited to send our fresh seafood buyer, Drew Breece through their Future Leaders program!

Future Leaders is a year-long program designed to enhance the knowledge and leadership skills of rising industry leaders through a unique hands-on program focused on production, sales, companies, and the seafood industry.

No other setting combines this kind of in-depth exposure to such a diversity of issues along with the opportunity to network and learn with a small group of industry peers representing the leaders of today and tomorrow.

This year, Drew gets to visit Washington, DC for Session 1, Los Angeles, CA for Session 2, Portland, ME for Session 3 and Seattle, WA for his final trip in August.  Each session is designed to enhance knowledge and leadership skills in the areas of government relations, production, sales, marketing, and the industry in general.

Stay tuned for details following all of his trips!
