Sustainable Fisheries and Seafood Purchases
Making smart seafood decisions for today and tomorrow
Choosing sustainable seafood is an easy—yet effective—action you can take every time you go grocery shopping or dine out. Your purchases make a difference, whether you are a chef buying for your restaurant, a supplier sourcing from the commercial fleet or an individual shopping for your family. Voting with your wallet sends a strong signal to government, industry and retail, telling them that you support responsible stewardship of our natural marine resources.
To make choosing sustainable seafood easier, Sierra Club BC and other conservation organizations in the SeaChoice program have created easy-to-use tools to help identify the best seafood choices and find information about fisheries that you support through your purchases.
Take a look at SeaChoice’s Smart Seafood Decisions Guide and the Sustainable Sushi Guide.

The ultimate solutions will require all of us—government, consumers, industry and retailers—to take responsibility for changing our approach to seafood and fishing. You can choose to be part of the solution.
