The Oceana Foundation's Guide to Sustainable Seafood
It's hard to know what fish are okay to eat these days. But fear not, we have resources to help. Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch guides provide at-a-glance info on which fish is relatively abundant (okay to eat) and which species are overfished (need to avoid). They also flag types of seafood that contain levels of mercury or PCBs that pose a health risk. Choose your region below, print it out and stick it in your wallet! You can also use their handy iPhone app to get seafood recommendations. Visit Oceana and Learn More about sustainable sea foods and all their good work. http://oceana.org/living-blue/sustainable-seafood-guide

THE WDC's PLEDGE NEVER TO PLUNGE
Swimming with captive dolphins and having "close" encounters may seem like fun, but the harsh reality is kept well hidden. Dolphins and whales in captive settings suffer from their confinement, have high levels of stress, and often have dramatically shortened lives. http://us.whales.org/pledge-never-to-plunge WDC is raising awareness about the dark side of these programs. Take the pledge and help us end captivity for ALL whales and dolphins. Please sign the pledge and share on your Facebook, Instagram and Twitter account: I #pledgenevertoplunge with the #forgottenwhales and dolphins. http://us.whales.org/pledge-never-to-plunge

Boyan Slat, a 21-year-old who gained worldwide recognition two years ago for his ambitious plan to rid the oceans of plastics, is one step closer to making his idea a reality. His foundation just raised the 1.5 million euros they needed to test their technology in real-life conditions, which will take place in the North Sea this summer. Learn More about The Ocean Clean Up Project https://youtu.be/xO1vVAb7BKk Slat is founder and president of the Ocean Cleanup, a foundation dedicated to developing advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. For the past three years, he’s been working on creating a massive underwater barrier that would collect and remove trash from the Pacific ocean. The idea works like this: The V-shaped underwater wall would corral trash passing through into one concentrated area, to then be more easily removed and recycled.
