Sensible Seafood Program
You can help promote ocean-friendly seafood! The Sensible Seafood Program promotes seafood that makes sense for a healthy marine environment.
You can participate in this important conservation effort by purchasing seafood that comes from local and sustainable sources.
The Bad News
Some species of fish are disappearing quickly from our oceans, though farming has helped to replenish some populations. In 1974, 90 percent of fish stocks were within biologically sustainable levels. Today, that figure has decreased to 66 percent. Left unchecked, overfishing can cause a fish population to collapse, meaning the population’s abundance is less than 10 percent of the original amount. Large fish are the first to go. Fish that are large, live a long time, and are slow to reproduce are among the most vulnerable to overfishing. These traits also make it hard to rebuild their populations once overfishing stops.
The Good News
You can help!
- Learn more about your sustainable seafood options.
