Eco-Friendly Seafood Choices Here on the Gulfcoast, we enjoy a variety of seafood selections from the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Now there's a quick and easy way to find fresh seafood choices that are caught or farmed in ways that support a healthy environment. The Seafood Watch Guide for the Southeast U.S. lists all your favorite seafood dishes, indicating the best choices that help conserve ocean wildlife and protect natural resources. Each species has been reviewed and rated according to the quality of the farming or harvesting operations and the ecological status of the species. For more information on the environmental issues surrounding the fishing industry, please see the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Species Factsheets. |
