Benefits of Eating Sustainable Seafood

There are many benefits to eating sustainable seafood. Here are just a few:

• You're helping to protect our oceans. Sustainable seafood practices help to reduce overfishing, pollution, and climate change, all of which are harming our oceans.
• You're getting healthier seafood. Sustainable seafood is often caught or farmed in a way that minimizes the use of chemicals and antibiotics. This means that you're getting healthier seafood for you and your family.
• You're supporting local fishermen and farmers. Sustainable seafood often comes from small-scale fishermen and farmers who are using sustainable practices. By buying sustainable seafood, you're supporting their livelihoods and helping to keep our coastal communities thriving.

How to Choose Sustainable Seafood

Choosing sustainable seafood can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. Here are a few tips:

• Look for the Seafood Watch logo. The Seafood Watch logo is a certification program that helps consumers identify sustainable seafood. Seafood with the Seafood Watch logo has been caught or farmed using sustainable practices.
• Ask your fishmonger. If you're buying seafood from a fishmonger, ask them about their sustainability practices. They should be able to tell you where the seafood came from and how it was caught or farmed.
• Buy local seafood. Local seafood is often more sustainable than seafood that has been shipped long distances. This is because local seafood doesn't have to travel as far to get to your plate, which reduces the environmental impact.
