What is sustainable seafood?
• A species that is abundant and resilient to fishing pressures.
• A species that is well managed with a comprehensive management plan based on current research.
• A species that is harvested in a method that ensures limited bycatch on non-target and endangered species.
• A species that has a method of catch which ensures there is limited habitat loss associated with the harvesting method.
