06/11/2011 - Sustainable Seafood in Vancouver
Oceanwise is an educational program for consumers created by the Vancouver Aquarium in 2005 in partnership with C Restaurant - one of Vancouver's most acclaimed fine-dining seafood restaurants. The organization's aim is to promote the responsible enjoyment of seafood in our city. The program expanded nationally in 2009.
Oceanwise was made possible by a founding grant from the David & Lucille Packard Foundation. The program "Works directly with restaurants, markets, food services and suppliers ensuring that they have the most current scientific information regarding seafood and helping them make ocean-friendly buying decisions."
There are more than 250 restaurants in southwestern B.C. that now proudly display the Oceanwise symbol on their menus to help educate patrons about endangered species in our oceans.
When visiting websites of seafood restaurants, look for the Oceanwise symbol and help to protect this essential and healthy food staple, as well as ocean habitats, for generations to come.
