Sustainable Seafood Guides

Choosing Sustainable Seafood - Shellfish and Fish Guides

We need to take action. Unsustainable fishing practices and habitat destruction are threatening many fisheries with world wide collapse. At the same time, some fisheries remain healthy and productive due to succesful management, responsible harvesting, and advanced fishing practices.

Unless commercial fishers, governments, and consumers reverse course, our fisheries face continual decline and extinction. We can make a difference by choosing sustainable seafood and supporting responsible fishing practices. This is a simple and effective action that we all can take every time we eat at a restaurant or buy seafood.

Choosing sustainable seafood can be challenging, so we've created easy-to-use guides to help you identify smart choices. With fish and shellfish illustrations by reknowned artist Brenda Guild Gillespie and content compiled by Seafood Choices Alliance (a global trade association for the issue of ocean-friendly seafood), our seafood guides are not only packed with solid information that you can use daily, they are works of art.


Some leaders in the movement for sustainable seafood have spoken out about our guides:

β€œMarineBio believes that overfishing is one of the greatest threats to the ocean. But seafood is an important source of protein and it is important to the economic-well being and food security of millions of people worldwide. The best way to ensure that we find a sustainable happy medium is to know which species are sustainable and which ones aren't. These beautiful posters are a great place to start and should be displayed in commercial and home kitchens everywhere.”

β€œThe posters are a great and informative guide for selecting environmentally-sustainable seafood. The artwork is equally impressive.”
