Seafood Watch

This last weekend my wife and I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was an exciting and eye opening experience. I have visited the aquarium a few times as a child, but I did not understand the scope and impact that fishing has on our environment. What's wonderful is that you and I can support responsible company's, while avoid supporting the irresponsible ones.

I have scanned this pamphlet for you to see. Please take a moment to see which brands you use, and try to make a change if you currently purchase brands that should be avoided.

We realize that although we have conservative views, and feel that "Global Warming" is as much a political catchphrase to bolster Democratic party interests as it is truth, but after touring the Monterey Bay Aquarium, there is no doubt in our minds that our choices do impact our ocean environment.

Visit SeafoodWach.org for more information about your favorite seafood. You have the power. Your consumer choices make a difference. Buy seafood from the green or yellow columns to support those fisheries and fish farms that are healthier for ocean wildlife and the environment.

At least this gives you something else to think about during these turbulent financial times.
