Sustainable seafood refers to fish that are caught or farmed with consideration for the long-term viability of the species and for the ecological balance of the ocean. We can choose seafood from local, sustainably managed fisheries to minimize our impact on the environment.
Sustainable Seafood: Fish for the Future, offers an overview of some complex issues our oceans are currently facing, overfishing and sustainable practices. The discussion will focus on the fishing industry, management put into place working towards more sustainable practices, and the Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative. Learn about what fish are good choices and what questions you should be asking to do your part! Working together, we can make the right choices to create and maintain a balance between our needs as consumers and the health and long term viability of individual marine species.
