The mission of Seafood Watch is to empower consumers and businesses to make the right choices in food selection to ensure healthy oceans. Established by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the program raises awareness about the importance of purchasing seafood from sustainable sources.
Restaurants who agree to participate in the program, pledge to serve only items from the Seafood Watch "Best Choices" and "Good Alternatives," from its list of seafood suggestions, which for environmentally sound reasons are good food choices. Restaurants pledge not to serve seafood categorized under "Avoid," because those products lead to overfishing, pollution and potential negative impacts on the ocean habitat.
