Sustainable Seafood Day Australia 2010

Thank you for your support!

For the fourth consecutive year, leading scientists, seafood wholesalers, restaurateurs, conservationists and fishers from across Australia united to promote certified sustainable MSC-labelled seafood. 

29 restaurants, twice as many as the year before, participated in the fourth Sustainable Seafood Day. Taronga Zoo did a great job informing visitors about sustainable seafood choices too.

MSC and certified sustainable seafood in Australia

Fisheries, businesses and consumers in Australia have long supported the MSC and sustainable seafood:
•   Western Australia rock lobster was the first fishery certified to the MSC environmental standard for sustainable fishing
•   important support from ALDI supermarkets, Birds Eye, John West and others have helped the number of MSC-labelled products available to Australian consumers in shops grow rapidly.

As of 31 January 2010, 52 MSC-labelled seafood products are on sale in Australia - a growth of 40% over the last year.
