Sustainable Seafood

I love seafood more than any other food. Period. Unfortunatly, all around the world many traditional fisheries are threatened with collapse, due to unsustainable fishing practises and habitat destruction. Today our oceans are in serious trouble. Within the past 15 years of industrial fishing we have depleted nearly 90% of our ocean’s large predatory fish. Worldwide, we remove over 88 million tons of seafood from the ocean each year. Fortunatly, there is a SOLUTION! YAY!!! Some fisheries, however, remain healthy and productive due to succesful management, responsible harvesting and advances in contained fish farming. If we all take responsibility for the seafood we eat, by insisting on only sustainable seafood, the plight to save our oceans will be successful. There are plenty of seafood choices that are sustainable. What can we do??? Make sustainable seafood a part of your meal planning and shopping activities!
