Choosing Your Seafood

Overall, the best choices we can make are to:

Eat less seafood, to reduce our consumption overall

Choose local and seasonal seafood that are well managed 

Choose smaller fish that are lower on the food chain and reduce pressure on keystone species such as top predators 

Choose invasive species (like lionfish in the Caribbean) that have detrimental effects on native marine biodiversity 

Choose seafood that is caught through minimally harmful fishing practices
