Monterey Bay Seafood Watch

Monterey Bay Seafood Watch is a program that helps consumers and businesses choose seafood that is environmentally sustainable. It provides science-based recommendations on which fish and shellfish are caught or farmed responsibly, avoiding species that harm ecosystems or are overfished. Using color-coded guides (green for best choices, yellow for good alternatives, red for those to avoid), it promotes fishing and farming practices that protect marine health, ensuring seafood remains abundant for future generations. The program aims to support sustainable seafood consumption while maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.
