Shedd Aquarium

We will study seafood conservation practices while looking at the relationship between the fish we eat, where it comes from, and how we procure the fish we eat. We will examine sustainable fishing practices through promoting sustainable seafood sourcing and fishing practices.

What exactly does “sustainable” mean? It means choosing fish species that are bountiful. Your seafood choices can have a big impact on the health of our waters worldwide. Read on to discover why there’s a commotion in the ocean, what Shedd Aquarium is doing about it, and what you can do, too.
