Currently there is no direct shipping from the U.S. to Greenland. Eimskip must ship to Iceland and then to Greenland. This is something that was discussed as needing to be addressed as there are markets in the U.S. and Greenland and Portland Maine is the closest U.S. port to Greenland. The delegates then traveled to Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) to participate in the Introduction to Culinary Arts education program and participated in the Casco Bay Bioregion Learning Journey (local dinner included).

The following day the delegates participated in the Walk the Working Waterfront tour and discussed what they do, what can be learned, what education/internship programs can be developed and the Ocean Gateway visitor’s center - Visit Portland. They also participated in a Lobster catching Demonstration Tour with Rocky Bottom Tours and a Portland Old Port Foodie Tour – lunch. The day ended at the BlackPoint Inn talking with a Hotel General manager panel and then to Greenland.
