Support Sustainable Seafood Companies to Fight Overfishing
More and more people are showing greater concern for the environment by being more careful about what they eat and what they buy.
One of the major environmental concerns of the 21st century is overfishing.
This problem has reached a critical peak, because we are at the environmental turning point where these resources will no longer be renewable.
The reality of this problem is that commercial fishing is widespread and causing serious damage to the eco systems of our oceans.
Major commercial fishing companies are depleting the oceans of fish wildlife.
These huge companies send their boats out to get anything and everything they can.
The next step in the process is to ship all the fish out to their factories and have foods mass produced and distributed across the country.
This leads to a lot of waste, as packages expire and unused seafood gets thrown away.
This kind of overfishing and mass waste is completely unnecessary.
The solution for the consumer is to only buy products from companies that use sustainable fishing methods.
You can do some research or check the labeling of companies that do smaller scale fishing.
Companies with sustainable fishing methods do so in safe zones.
These safe zones are areas where the fish are wild in abundance and where fishing them won't damage the local eco system.
One of the best places to get sustainably fished seafood is from Alaska.
The state of Alaska does extensive work to protect their wildlife, and the fishing that happens in Alaska waters is highly regulated.
This means that the salmon, cod, crab, pollock, and all the other kinds of seafood that you can get from these waters is the kind of seafood you can feel good about eating.
It is sustainably fished in a way that maintains the balance of the local eco system.
Supporting this industry of more conscientious fishing means that you are taking a stand against the status quo of overfishing that other companies have tried to normalize.
When you buy food that is sustainably farmed and fished it means that you are supporting a food industry that is environmentally friendly.
