Seafood Supply Chains

Greenpeace's evaluations of Canada's chain supermarkets seems to have had an impact on the seafood stocked by the stores. Greenpeace says several less popular choices, think shark, from Greenpeace's redlist are no longer available in these stores. Yet, the more poplar items like salmon are still being sold. Greenpeace has asked supermarkets to look into the sustainability of their seafood supply chains. As consumers it is important to ask before we order or buy, as well. One distress to our environment that is regularly over-looked is farmed fish. These farms pollute our marinas, weaken the species they farm and supply our stores with unhealthy options. Wild caught salmon is actually a much more sustainable choice because of permitting and tracking. How does your supermarket rate? Check it out at: http://bit.ly/bAh3Jr
