The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program helps sustain wild, diverse, and healthy ocean ecosystems that will exist long into the future.

We do this by encouraging consumers and businesses to purchase seafood that is fished or farmed in ways that don't harm the environment.

Seafood Watch researchers use a science-based, peer reviewed process to create recommendations that help you know which seafood items are "Best Choices" and "Good Alternatives," and which ones you should "Avoid." Learn more at Seafood Watch.
