yes....awesome.

There are many definitions for sustainable seafood, the one that I was referring to and the one that the Seafood Watch cards (and others) refer to is: "from sources, either fished or farmed, that can maintain or increase production into the long-term without jeopardizing the affected ecosystems."  There are several sustainable fisheries by these standards.  I agree that there is much uncertainty in what affects marine ecosystems, but as many scholars have pointed out, if we waited for certainty prior to making management decisions....we would be waiting a long long time and there may not be any fish left at that point.  I am all for increased awareness, precautionary management and providing information to consumers so that they can make informed choices on the seafood they purchase.  I do think it is awesome that Alton Brown is making use of his legitimacy and media outlets to promote awareness.
