NOAA launches FishWatch – a seafood fact-finding website

NOAA's FishWatch programNOAA’s FishWatch program lays out a solid mission for their new informational site, “FishWatch can help you make informed decisions about the seafood you eat by providing you with the most accurate and timely information available on the sustainability of U.S. seafood fisheries.”

We all benefit from FishWatch by having one site to go to for information on the state of the nation’s fisheries and seafood.

The connection between seafood and health is undeniable, yet information available to consumers can be confusing and is often conflicting. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has an obligation to help make information about seafood products more accessible to the general public. Consumers want to know if fish and other seafood are healthy and safe to eat and feed to their families.

Thank you Uncle Sam. :-)
