Eco-conscious E-commerce
The seafood industry is infamous for being detrimental to the marine environment, and forced labor is also a major concern. Seafood Watch (seafoodwatch.org) keeps a database of which species to buy or avoid based on current data. I like to order online from City Pier Seafood (citypierseafood. com), which ships fish certified by the Marine Stewardship Council—and
Seafood Watch—nationwide. At restaurants, you can look for labels like the James Beard Foundation’s Smart Catch (jamesbeard.org/ smart-catch). — HANNAH WALHOUT, SENIOR EDITOR
