Local Seafood Markets and Vendors
Check out your local farmers' markets, co-ops, and seafood markets for sustainably sourced fish and seafood options. Ask vendors about their sourcing practices and look for certifications like Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP).
Community-Supported Fisheries Programs
Join a community-supported fisheries (CSF) program in your area to receive regular deliveries of locally caught, sustainable seafood. CSF programs often work directly with small-scale fishermen who use responsible fishing practices.
Online Sustainable Seafood Directories
Utilize online resources like Seafood Watch or Ocean Wise to find sustainable seafood options near you. These directories provide information on eco-friendly seafood choices and conservation efforts, making it easier to make informed decisions when purchasing seafood.
