The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program helps consumers and businesses make choices for healthy oceans. The program raises consumer awareness through pocket guides, a website, mobile applications and outreach efforts that recommend which seafood items are “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives,” and which ones you should “Avoid.”
The Seafood Watch scientists research government reports, journal articles and white papers. The SSA worked with the research group to help secure a “Good Alternative” ranking for U.S. wild-caught shrimp and to distinguish our product from farm-raised imported shrimp, which received a recommendation of “Avoid.”
