See seafood? Not for long, unless we support wise fishing
If you love seafood but you want to make choices that reflect concern for the environment, use Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch site to get a printable pocket-size folder that lists items to avoid and gives you the best bets for a planet-friendly ocean platter. There are regional guides available as well as a general US guide. It's a handy paper to carry with you to a market or restaurant. The site also has printable Fish Fact Cards you can leave at restaurants to express your concern for modern catch practices. A lot of commercial fishing methods endanger other wildlife besides the particular fish being sought for sale. And there's a printable Thank You Card to let markets and restaurants know you appreciate their good choices.
A tip of the Stetson goes to The Californian for pointing out Seafood Watch.
