When it comes to the seafood industry, sustainable seafood describes seafood that is harvested following rules, regulations, and best practices that don’t harm the environment or other wildlife. This intentional practice of sustainably harvested seafood applies to both wild-caught seafood and farm-raised seafood. When you tie in the element of sustainability, the details behind sustainable seafood are much more intentional than traditional commercial fisheries. Sustainable fisheries focus on promoting economic growth, delivering goods, and, most importantly, leaving as minimal a carbon footprint as possible on the environment they work in.
