Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California, has put out a tri-fold, wallet-size card packed with information for the discerning lover of seafood. The easy-to-use card categorizes a variety of edible species according to their impact on a healthy environment. The methods used to catch the species or raise it by aquaculture determine whether the menu item falls in the “Best Choices,” “Caution” or “Avoid” category. A card covering the West Coast is available now, while other regions will follow. For more information, or to download the card for free, visit www.montereybayaquarium.org.
