Our seas are being drastically overfished using unsustainable fishing methods which puts all of us at risk but especially those in small coastal communities.

It's easy to think it is someone elses problem, but the seas are an ecosystem of which we know very little and their degredation is a threat to all of us, not just the species of fish who's numbers are dwindling, who's habitats are being destroyed, nor just those who make a living from or like to eat fish.

Consumer choice does make a difference, become more informed about the fish you buy.

The following sites offer information about fish species and fishing methods enabling you to make an educated choice about the fish you buy.
