(bottom line is that shrimp trawling produces the most bycatch of any type of fishing)Sheffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153249131248130997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391789894511297146.post-78840434617420097582010-02-09T16:11:39.545-05:002010-02-09T16:11:39.545-05:00Consumer Activism really makes a difference.

Probably the biggest triumph was getting domestic tuna producers to use dolphin-safe netting, now standard practice.<br /><br />Sustainability often depends on how fish are obtained or where they’re from (Wild-caught Alaskan Salmon is best, Oregon is OK, but farmed Atlantic salmon is bad.) Foreign shrimp producers sometimes have 10 lbs of bycatch per 1lb of shrimp. Shrimp trawls run along the bottom of the ocean, often destroying important reefs, but you mentioned the downside of shrimp farming. At restaurants and supermarkets I always ask for the fish's bio, if it's not clear. Even if I don't plan to order that fish, I want chef's to know it's important to me. If someone asks me about the seafood guide, I give them my copy to have (It gives me an excuse to print out the most update version).Sheffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153249131248130997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391789894511297146.post-37761061979134317372010-02-09T16:05:03.992-05:002010-02-09T16:05:03.992-05:00Can I pre-order my Bikeable Feast Cookbook?Can I pre-order my Bikeable Feast Cookbook?Sheffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153249131248130997noreply@blogger.com
