Proposal Floated to Make Norwalk Nautical Hub for Organic Food: Report

NORWALK, CT — The principals that built the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk's research vessel are teaming up on a proposal to make Norwalk a hub for ferrying organic and locally grown foods across Long Island Sound, reports The Hour.

Robert E. Derecktor Inc. shipyard in Mamaroneck, NY, and Robert Kunkel, president of Stamford-based Alternative Marine Technologies, are proposing to create an eco-friendly organic food delivery fleet using emissions-free vessels.

Kunkel co-owns Harbor Harvest which "is dedicated to developing the relationship between Farmer, Harbor and Customer," according to its Facebook page. The market and restaurant would spearhead the delivery fleet proposal.

"Our mission is to provide convenient access to healthy, nutritious food sourced from local and regional farms and artisans at a price that supports the local community," Harbor Harvest states.
