"New Good Fish Guide Ratings out today"
New good fish guide ratings for the UK water (farmed, caught, and eaten) is out today...a few weeks ago, on May 10th, 2021.
What's a good fish guide? The good fish guide assists consumers find more sustainable sea food options.
You may be surpised at which species are have low population sizes or are endangered, while still being widely consumed. There are still a great variety of species that can be caught and consumed that are not endangered or at risk.
Something that was interesting in this report is that certain species of marine life, such as the octupus, are still not properly tracked well enough to have a good idea of what their population size is. One reason could be that octupus is not a popular catch in the region, but this is not mentioned in the report.
Read the full report and get a better understanding of what marine species are more sustainable to consume in the region and why : https://www.mcsuk.org/news/new-gfg-ratings

Donate to the Dolphin Project https://www.dolphinproject.com/donate/
Dolphin Project is a non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to the welfare and protection of dolphins worldwide. Founded by Richard (Ric) O’Barry on Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the organization aims to educate the public about captivity and, where feasible, retire and/or release captive dolphins.
The mission of Dolphin Project is to end dolphin exploitation and slaughter, as dolphins are routinely captured, harassed, slaughtered and sold into captivity around the world – all in the name of profit. Dolphin Project works not only to halt these slaughters, but also to rehabilitate captive dolphins for retirement and/or release, investigate and advocate for economic alternatives to dolphin slaughter, and to put a permanent end to dolphin captivity.
Port Sundries is not affiliated with Dolphin Project but supports their goal 100%.
