Ocean Wise Seafood Program

Join The Sustainable Seafood Movement
Ocean Wise Seafood is a conservation program created to educate consumers and businesses about the issues within the world’s fisheries and aquaculture operations and empower them to make informed decisions when purchasing seafood.

Ocean Wise Seafood works directly with businesses along the seafood supply chain to ensure they have the most current scientific information regarding their seafood so they can make ocean-friendly buying decisions. The Ocean Wise branding on menus, product lists or packaging enables consumers to easily choose seafood products that ensure the health of our oceans, lakes and rivers for generations to come.
