Alot has been going on leading up to an important trip this week.
I hope you enjoy the pre-recording and my first podcast!
Bad Seafood links:
- A short Documentary on prawn farming - Environmental Justice Foundation
- Unsustainable fishing harms land mammals too!
Sustainable Seafood links:
- Marine Conservation Society (based out of UK)
- Blue Ocean Institute (based out of US) has a great fish-eating guide!
- FISH ONLINE has another guide on every digestible variety of seafood, and where it comes from.
- Northern Ontario Aquaculture Association (aka fish farming)
- The Fish Shop at Thunder Bay Country Market
- Some info on how Ontario fish populations are managed PDF- MNR
- More from the MNR on sustaining local fish populations.
- Try to eat as much local fish as possible, avoid imported sea food unless you are visiting the coast.
- Fish only with a licence! This helps the MNR know exactly how much fishing is going on, and they can make accurate limits and predictions for the following year.
- Ask YOUR favourite sea food restaurant where everything comes from. If they don't know or if it is fished in an unsustainable way, it is best to take caution's side and stay away.
- Eat Bi-valves! Mussels, scallops, oysters, cockles and clams grow like mad, and are almost totally harvested in a sustainable way.
- Read the Good Fish Guide print out a copy and keep it in mind while making your selection.
