The rest of this I cut and paste from a recent email.
The Seafood Watch Pocket Guide is a great tool when you’re choosing what seafood to buy. But to use the guide, you need certain information – where did a fish come from? How was it caught? – and sometimes that information is hard to find. It’s not always on the package, and the person behind the counter doesn’t always know it either.
But by asking questions, you are sending a powerful message, a message that you care about where your seafood comes from and how it is farmed or caught. This message is affecting change, and we have evidence to prove it.
• In a survey of 26 restaurants and businesses in the Monterey Bay area, half said they had changed their business operations after learning about the Seafood Watch program or receiving requests from customers for sustainable seafood.
• In a survey of pocket guide users, 86 percent said they had chosen not to buy certain seafood because of environmental concerns.
• In the same survey, almost 80 percent said they now buy less of some type of seafood because of the pocket guide recommendations.
With over 8 million pocket guides in circulation since the program began over 5 years ago and nearly 6,000 people on our newsletter distribution list, the collective efforts of all of us together is powerful. In the next few e-newsletters we will highlight the major successes we've accomplished together. Please consider submitting your own success story online and joining our Seafood Advocate program to receive additional outreach tools.
