  Sustainable sushi

  Many fish & shellfish populations ARE sustainable because they come from well-managed fisheries. The role of Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, and of other sustainable seafood programs, is to help individuals and businesses make choices that preserve healthy ocean ecosystems and the livelihoods of people in fishing communities. We've gotten the attention of big seafood buyers, who are responding to consumer demand by changing their buying practices. Ultimately, that will translate into better fishing and fish-farming practices. -- Ken Peterson, Monterey Bay AquariumOn Green groups to release sustainable sushi guides posted 1 year, 1 month ago 5 Responses

  Seafood Watch is mobile too!

  You no longer have to carry a Seafood Watch pocket guide. Since mid-September, it's been available for cell phones and PDAs, just by clicking on our Mobile Seafood Watch link.

  You'll have the lastest versions of all our pocket guides at your fingertips, including Spanish-language guides.
