Profiles In Fishing
What does the word "sustainable" mean to you?
Being far-sighted, with minimal impact on the world's resources - i.e. avoiding overfishing, catching smaller and smaller fish, or farming fish in a way that negatively affects their surroundings and/or wild counterparts (or other wildlife - or humans).
What is your role in the sustainable management of U.S. Fisheries?
I can vote with my purchasing decisions every day - choosing to use, or not use, certain products - participating in moratoriums, staying informed via websites and newsletters, supporting sustainable fisheries and purveyors who chose their suppliers carefully, educating my customers via my menus or my involvement in fundraisers and awareness activities.
Why is your role so important?
The ripple effect.
