Seafood Watch from
the Monterey Bay Aquarium
August 5, 2000
Updated May 4, 2002
California's Monterey Bay Aquarium is committed to supporting sustainable fisheries those operations managed in a way that supports a healthy marine environment and sustains seafood supplies for the future. To that end, they have developed a list of seafood products that they will and will not buy for their restaurant at the Aquarium. The list is updated as new information becomes available and we think it s an excellent resource for helping consumers make informed choices about the fish and seafood they buy.
Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium's site at www.mbayaq.org for more information and their current recommendations.
