   Sustainable seafood is seafood taken from either fished or farmed sources that can maintain or increase production in the future without putting in danger our ecosystems from which it was acquired. The sustainable seafood movement has got pace as more people are getting awareness about both overfishing and environmentally-destructive fishing methods.
   
   According to USA Today, There are 900,000 - Metric tons of wasted fish - 28% of the annual catch - that gets tossed overboard because they are not the desired species and 4 kilograms - of 'bycatch' discarded by Gulf Coast shrimpers for each kilo of shrimp kept.
   
   The sustainable seafood movement is launched to provide solutions for our oceans facing today. To choose sustainable seafood is a simple and effective step that you can take every time you eat at a restaurant or buy seafood from grocery. Your choices count very much either you are an individual, shopping for your family or a chef, buying for your restaurant.  Your Vote with your wallet sends a strong message to government and industry leaders to know them that you support responsible stewardship of our natural marine resources.
   
   To choose sustainable seafood is not easy. It might be challenging for you. But you can help to ensure that our fisheries remain sustainable and the marine ecosystem remains flourishing if choose carefully when you wish to eat seafood.
   
   The ultimate solutions will need all of us-governments, industry, retailers and individuals-to take responsibility for changing our approach to seafood and fishing. We hope you will choose to be part of the solution.
