MamAnomolie

I previously wrote a blog as part of my job called the Eco-Smart Consumer. For those of you that kept up with it, I'm apologizing now for some repeats that you might see here, but there are some resources that are just too good not to share again on MamAnomolie.

One of these great resources is the Seafood Watch program and their handy dandy wallet cards and mobile apps!

The Seafood Watch program comes from the good folks at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and there are several reasons why I like this particular resource. One is that it ranks seafood choices on environmental sustainability, but also indicates which choices have health concerns due to pollutants. It's nice to have information on both issues in one place. Second, Seafood Watch breaks up their information in ways that make it easy to use. They have regional guides so you actually have the information that pertains to wherever you are purchasing your seafood. There is even a guide specifically for sushi. Finally, they make it so easy to have the information you need at your fingertips. You can choose from one of their wallet cards, or you can download the Seafood Watch app on your mobile device. You can discreetly check your phone or wallet card when out for a meal with friends without anyone ever even noticing. I've done it myself!

So, if you're interested in making sustainable seafood choices, you should definitely check out what Seafood Watch has to offer!
