Those of you who know me know that I am not crazy about Whole Foods but I have to give them credit for their fish counter. Recently Whole Foods announced that in a partnership with the Monterey Bat Aquarium and Blue Ocean Institute they will end sales of red-rated species of fish by March 2013. The color ratings deal with the sustainability of the fishing practices with red being the worst.
Another large retailer, Target, has announced that it will be ended sales of farm raised salmon in stores due to the guidance of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program.
So kudos to these two companies for doing something that in theory is good for the planet. We will have to see who follows these companies in the fight to end unsustainable fishing practices.
