How can seafood consumers help protect our marine wildlife when overfishing and rapidly depleting fish stocks are common problems in today’s fishing industry? It is easier than one might think. Use your purchasing power to support sustainable fisheries by buying fish species that are known to have healthy populations. The web sites listed on this page can help seafood lovers make educated and informed decisions about their seafood consumption.

Environmental Defense - On their web site, Environmental Defense has selected and listed the best and worst seafood choices.

Audubon’s Living Ocean Campaign - This web site contains Audubon’s Seafood Lovers Guide, a chart rating the state of fish or shell fish, in order from least problematic to most problematic.

Marine Stewardship Council - MSC posts a list of sustainable seafood products on their site as well as provides resources for seafood consumers concerned with sustainability issues.

Sea Web - Web site includes information on ocean-related campaigns, ocean organizations in your area, books, newsletters and more. The project is designed to raise awareness of the world ocean and the life within. (Seaweb is part of Seafood Choices Alliance - To build a constituency in support of better and more sustainable seafood choices, SeaWeb and Environmental Media Services  have created the Seafood Choices Alliance, an effort to give food professionals, chefs and ultimately, consumers, the  information they need to make the most informed decisions about seafood.)
