seafood lover’s guide to sustainable consumption

December 29th, 2005

I could (and sometimes do) eat seafood every day. Fish, shellfish, crab, seaweed - it’s all good. However, having worked in Alaska a number of seasons, the academics of wildlife depletion in the oceans is more of a visceral memory to me than it is an abstract statistic.

I remember quite clearly the millions of pounds of fish and crab processed around the clock for months. And that was just at my one location.

In any case, I’m quite pleased to find this seafood guide maintained by the Monterrey Aquarium. Instead of feeling generally guilty for eating my favorite food, I can make informed decisions about what I eat while also influencing the purchasing choices my favorite restaurants make.

Very cool … small steps at an individual level.
