Many fish we eat are in danger due to overfishing or the destruction of their habitat. The Blue Ocean Institute's Guide to Ocean Friendly Seafood lists over 90 species which are commonly used as seafood and ranks them on sustainability, as well as the environmental friendliness of their catch method or farming system. A mobile phone text-messaging service is also available.
