Voting with Your Wallet

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 fishing communities or an individual shopping for your family. Voting with your wallet sends a strong signal to government and industry leaders, telling them that you support responsible stewardship of our natural marine resources.

Do you enjoy seafood? Do you wish there was more information out there to help you make sustainable choices? Take our survey.

To make choosing sustainable seafood easier, the Sierra Club BC and other conservation organizations have created easy-to-use tools to help identify the best seafood choices and find information about fisheries that you support through your purchases. Please take a look at Canada’s Seafood 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.
