Seafood Watch

<a href="http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/seafoodwatch.asp" title="Monterey Bay Aquarium: Seafood Watch Program - A Consumer's Guide to Sustainable Seafood">What is Seafood Watch?</a> &ldquo;A program of Monterey Bay Aquarium designed to raise consumer awareness about the importance of buying seafood from sustainable sources. We recommend which seafood to buy or avoid, helping consumers to become advocates for environmentally friendly seafood. We&rsquo;re also partners of the <a href="http://www.seafoodchoices.net/">Seafood Choices Alliance</a> where, along with other seafood awareness campaigns, we provide seafood purveyors with recommendations on seafood choices.&rdquo;
