We’d like to share our good fortune by helping other Champions of sustainability to succeed. Making environmentally responsible food choices is something we believe we should all be more proactive about. But sometimes it’s hard to separate fact from hype.

Eating more seafood is a simple way to get healthy. Understanding how we can help keep our fish supply healthy by supporting sustainable seafood practices is, admittedly, a little more complex. Lucky for us, there’s a guidebook to this exact topic, produced by the Chef’s Collaborative in partnership with Environmental Defense and the Dave and Lucile Packard Foundation. Seafood Solutions is a buying guide designed to help you make environmentally responsible seafood purchasing decisions.

So as we celebrate the arrival of Spring, we hope you’ll take a minute to learn how responsible consumption can help preserve fish resources.
