The Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) welcomes Martin-Paul Agbaga, PhD and Maya Maroto, EdD, MPH, RDN as the newest members of its Scientific Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC). The 16-member Science Council, formed in 2013, is composed of the world’s leading researchers united passionately around seafood as critical for the health of all Americans. Agbaga is a leading researcher in the role of omega-3 fatty acids in maintaining retinal structure and function. Maroto brings a strong nutrition education and public policy background with dedication to providing equitable access to nutritious food.
“We’re excited to have Dr. Agbaga and Dr. Maroto join the Science Council, bringing thought leadership and experience in eye health, food equity and nutrition policy to the team,” said Tom Brenna, PhD, chair of the SNP SNAC and a leading omega-3 researcher. “The strong seafood science produced by the SNAC is a foundation on which the uniquely healthy aspects of the seafood story can be built.”
