About Seafood Watch

Cooking for Solutions supports the goals of the Seafood Watch program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium—working with consumers, chefs, restaurants and businesses to transform seafood markets in ways that create incentives for sustainable fishing and fish-farming practices.

Global demand for seafood has a tremendous impact on the health of our oceans. The ocean wildlife we love—from sea turtles to sharks, marine mammals and seabirds—need healthy habitats to survive and thrive. The responsibility for keeping our oceans healthy lies in our hands.

Seafood Watch offers a practical solution—the Seafood Watch pocket guide; a simple tool to empower consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans.
