The Australian Marine Conservation Society is proud to offer responsible seafood eaters Australia's first national guide to choosing sustainable seafood.

The compact guide offers seafood eaters a special insight into the sustainability of over 60 common Australian seafood species. The species are sorted into three main categories:  Say no (red), Think Twice (orange) and Better Choice (green ). Each species comes with succinct information about its biology, the fishing gear used to catch or farm it and a list of conservation concerns.

Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide also takes a look at different fishing methods used in our oceans, aquaculture (fish farming) issues, seafood and your health and much more.

The sustainability of each species in the Guide was considered and rated using published scientific information produced by governments and independent scientific bodies.

As informed seafood shoppers we can direct what seafood is caught, how it is caught or farmed and determine where it comes from. Through our purchasing power and questioning at the seafood counter, we can contribute to building a more sustainable seafood future and ensure that our oceans remain resilient and healthy for future generations.

You can become part of the solution not the problem. Buy your own copy of Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide. Read it carefully. Share it with family and friends and use it to help you make more informed seafood choices. Making the change to sustainable seafood makes sense. It makes you feel good too!
