seafood
Over 3 billion people in the world depend on wild-caught or farmed seafood as their main source of protein, as the population continues to grow, so will the demand for seafood.
The “Searching for Seastainable Seafood” story is not a small one. This shows how people are working hard to make a difference. It’s not about all the problems that the oceans face, but the great strides that many people are making to feed the world clean, healthy and sustainable seafood. And let's not forget, they are also helping the planet.

It's also better for your health and the health of our planet.
