RESPONSIBLE SEAFOOD

​
The future of fish as a food source is no longer guaranteed as many fish stocks are in a state of serious decline, with overfishing and illegal ocean practices being a great threat to marine wildlife and habitat.
​
With 90% of the world fish stocks already fully or over-exploited from fishing, plus additional pressure from climate change and pollution, we are moving into extremely dangerous waters when it comes to sustainable fish for the future.
​
You can help reduce the strain on certain species by demanding that the fish you eat comes from sustainably managed stocks and is caught or farmed in a way that causes minimal damage to the marine environment and other wildlife.
​
Doing the right thing is easier than you think so please check out the SASSI Good Fish Guide and help our conservation cause.
