CHOOSE SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
How can we sustain Earth’s resources and our oceans for the future?
There are three simple, positive changes we can all make in our day-to-day lives that can help improve the health of our oceans. These changes can be as simple as switching from a single-use plastic water bottle to a reusable one, choosing safe sunscreen for you and your family, and knowing what you’re eating. Sustainable choices can be easy, and we can all join the fight!
