BEFORE YOU BUY, ASK IF IT’S OCEAN WISE

The Ocean Wise symbol identifies that seafood item as a good choice to help protect life in our oceans.

The Vancouver Aquarium does the homework, reviewing the latest scientific information – and then recommends sustainable seafood choices to Ocean Wise partners. What makes a seafood option Ocean Wise? Sustainable seafood is, very simply, seafood caught in a way that ensures the health of our oceans for years to come.

Ocean Wise choices are species that are:

• Abundant and resilient to fishing pressures
• Managed as part of a comprehensive plan based on current research
• Harvested in ways that limit accidental bycatch of other, possibly endangered species
• Harvested in ways that limit damage to ocean habitats
