Seafood is one of the most delicious and nutritious sources of protein. It's no wonder that it's a staple of many people's diets. However, overfishing and destructive fishing practices are taking a toll on our oceans, endangering many species of fish and disrupting marine ecosystems. If we want to enjoy seafood for years to come, we need to start making sustainable choices. Here are 10 tips for sustainable seafood consumption.
Before you order or buy seafood, research the fish and its source. Look for sustainable seafood guides that provide information on the best and worst choices.
Local seafood is often fresher, and it supports small-scale fishermen who use sustainable methods.
Wild-caught fish is often more sustainable than farmed fish because it's caught in the wild, rather than raised in a fish farm. However, not all wild-caught fish are sustainable, so do your research.
Some fish populations are overfished and endangered. Avoid species like bluefin tuna, Chilean sea bass, and Atlantic cod.
Look for seafood that's caught using sustainable methods, such as pole and line, handline, or trap fishing.
Destructive fishing practices, such as bottom trawling or dredging, can damage marine ecosystems and harm other marine life. Avoid seafood that's caught using these methods.
Not all farmed seafood is bad. Look for seafood that's farmed using sustainable methods, such as closed containment systems or integrated multi-trophic aquaculture.
Don't waste seafood. Plan your meals and only buy what you need. Use leftovers to make new meals or freeze them for later.
There are many sustainable seafood options that you may not have tried before. Experiment with new recipes to expand your palate.
Share your knowledge about sustainable seafood with your friends and family. Encourage them to make sustainable choices too.
