Put a little sustainable fishy on your dishy

Prawn salad - I believe the phrase is 'om nom nom'.

This 30 September, the Marine Stewardship Council  aims to promote sustainable seafood through the Sustainable Seafood Lunch.

According to WWF, only 0.6% of the world’s oceans are protected areas. 52% of fish stocks are fully exploited, and some economists and ecologists predict that (at the current rate of overfishing) the world will run out of seafood by 2048.

The MSC provide a certification program for seafood from sustainable sources, working with fisheries, food producers, scientists and retailers.

• Marine Conservation Society (plus download their pocket Good Fish Guide in pdf format)
• End Of The Line movie

Certified seafood from sustainable sources is easily identified by a blue Marine Stewardship Council badge on food packaging.
