18 Do You Pay Attention to Sustainable Seafood Guidelines?
Do you recall how last year, Hawaii became the first state to ban shark finning? Well, California followed suit this past weekend. On Saturday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that bans the possession, sale, and distribution of imported shark fins, calling the practice "cruel" and the new legislation "in the interest of future generations." Fins already in the state may be sold and Read more
From functionally extinct oysters to shark fin cruelty, recent environmental news has suggested a doom-and-gloom future for global aquaculture. A new report, from The WorldFish Center and Conservation International, takes the notion of the world's bleak seafood system a step further, with a chart that illustrates how the mercy of the world's fish supply lies almost entirely in the hands of one Read more
In less than four months, the state of Hawaii will be shark fin-free, and soon, the same could happen in California. The golden state is currently deliberating a piece of legislation that would ban the sale and possession of shark fins, too. Proponents of the ban don't just cite the inhumane practice of cutting fins off live sharks, but the staggering drop in ocean shark populations as well: 73 Read more
I've had more thoughts in the past week about the sustainablity of seafood than I have about the Super Bowl. Chalk it up to lots of conflicting information. The one question in my head is this: should we be eating more fish in our diets or less? According to Parents, the USDA's new dietary guidelines mean we should be increasing our seafood intake in order to reduce consumption of other animal Read more
From wild oyster reef studies to restaurant seafood scores and sustainability rankings for canned fish brands, the issue of sustainable seafood has only gotten hotter. It's admittedly hard to keep track of all those complicated guidelines, but there are a number of species in the sea that are almost always safe — or unsafe — to eat. Can you name them? To find out, let's get started. Take Read more
If you care about the future of sea life, maybe you shouldn't be eating oysters. A recent study shows over 85 percent of wild oyster reefs have disappeared, thanks to overharvesting and disease. The study, conducted by The Nature Conservancy and the University of California and published in BioScience, examined reefs across 44 ecoregions and 144 bays, excluding Japan, China, South Africa, and the Read more
Despite the fact that we're becoming a society that's increasingly concerned about the sustainability of our seafood, there's still a lot of confusion (and lack of knowledge) on the part of both the chef and the consumer. After all, sustainability rankings don't just have to do with the species of fish; they also take into consideration its country of origin and harvesting and catching methods. Read more
We're not the only ones vowing to take a more sustainable approach to eating in 2011: so is the entire city of London. The city, largely in preparation for its role as host city for the 2012 Olympics, hopes to become the very first to source all of its fish sustainably. The effort's helmed by The Sustainable Fish City campaign, which is made up of food and conservation groups. The goal? Not only Read more
If you enjoy eating seafood, get excited. The Monterey Bay Aquarium has recently released an updated seafood watch guide. Their popular seafood guide lists three types of fish: those that you should avoid, those that are a good alternative, and a best choice for sustainable seafood. Our friends at Slashfood have all the details on the update. To find out which fish are now safe to eat, head over Read more
