I got the Greek salad. It was large and pretty. Excessive oregano and the dressing was almost too sweet. It had a decent flavor, but I wouldn’t order it again. Yes I know I ordered a Greek salad in a seafood restaurant, but I’m on a quest.

The seafood buying decisions we make as individuals have a profound effect on the health of ocean wildlife. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is working to educate consumers about this critical conservation issue.
In October of 1999, the Aquarium launched “Seafood Watch” in response to its growing concern that consumer demand for seafood was seriously damaging the health of ocean ecosystems and ocean wildlife populations.
“Fisheries conservation is among the most important marine conservation issues today, ” said aquarium executive director Julie Packard. “It’s an environmental problem whose solution is in people’s hands every time they buy seafood. Through ‘Seafood Watch’ we want to give people the information they need to make wise choices when they shop.”
Increased consumer demand for seafood combined with destructive fishing practices have had a disastrous effect on the health of the oceans. Today, 11 of the world’s 15 most important fishing areas - and nearly 70 percent of the world’s fisheries - are either fully fished or over fished. An estimated 30 million tons of fish, sharks and seabird die each year as “wasted catch” - animals caught accidentally and discarded, dead or dying.
Fish farming or aquaculture has its own set of problems including pollution, spread of disease to wild populations and the destructive conversion of coastal wetlands into commercial fish farms.
“Seafood Watch” offer detailed information about why seafood earned either a “Best Choices” rating, a “Proceed with Caution” alert or a place on the “Avoid” list.
Consumers can find more detailed and up to date information on Seafood Watch by visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s website, or by picking up a handy pocket guide at Whole Foods Markets in California and Washington.
