Helping people make better seafood choices for a healthy ocean

Our recommendations help you choose seafood that's fished or farmed in ways that have less impact on the environment.

Buy first, they're well managed and caught or farmed in ways that cause little harm to habitats or other wildlife.

Buy, but be aware there are concerns with how they're caught or farmed.

Don't buy, they're overfished or caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine life or the environment.

New and Updated Recommendations

This month we bring you new recommendations for pollock and sardinella and updated recommendations for cod, octopus and pompano.
