Over one-third of the world’s waters are overfished—but you can help change that!
Your carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon you produce over time (you can estimate yours with this ecological footprint calculator). As carbon emissions around the world rise, the global climate crisis worsens—impacting the health of the ocean and its marine life while also threatening the livelihood of fishing communities around the world. To help combat this, you can make changes that decrease your overall personal footprint. Stuck on where to start? Here are some guiding questions to help you:
Perhaps you’ve pledged to eat more seafood for your health or maybe you’re just a huge fan of a well-made fish sandwich! Either way, did you know that you can show your love of seafood and the ocean by making the switch to certified sustainable seafood?
Look for the MSC blue fish label while shopping. When you see this label, you can trust that your wild-caught seafood comes from an MSC certified fishery and that you’re supporting that fishery’s commitment to being more ocean-friendly.
A great way to make an even bigger positive impact is to diversify the type of seafood you consume. Check out our catalog of sustainable seafood recipes to find your new favorite fish dish.
Bonus: Every time you purchase a product with the MSC label, you are funding real change on the water through the MSC Ocean Stewardship Fund. Five percent of all royalties from MSC certified product sales go towards supporting sustainable fisheries and seafood globally.
It takes a movement of people taking small but meaningful actions to make a rippling effect of change. Educate your family and friends about the global crisis of overfishing, then inspire them to take action! Share our MSC blue fish guide with family and friends before their weekly shopping trip, or gift that snacky coworker some MSC certified pouched tuna! Help us grow the #FeelGoodSeafood movement online by following, tagging, and sharing your sustainable seafood content with @mscbluefish on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
