Ocean Wise Seafood works directly with businesses along the seafood supply chain to ensure they have the most current scientific information regarding their seafood and guide 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.
