Consumer Responsibility

 Monterey Bay Aquarium has a Seafood Watch Web page that helps consumers make choices to keep oceans healthy. Given the current issues with overfishing, bycatch and farming, it can be difficult for consumers to know what purchases are environmentally friendly. The website explains the aquarium’s seafood guides and lists fish and shellfish—domestic, foreign, domestic farmed, and foreign farmed— with recommendations for or against purchase based on the sustainability of the methods used to catch or to raise the organisms. Do you feel webpages like this are needed? Would you use it? Please explain your reasoning.
