About Ocean Wise
Ocean Wise is a Vancouver Aquarium conservation program created to educate and empower consumers about the issues surrounding sustainable seafood. Ocean Wise works directly with restaurants and markets, ensuring that they have the most current scientific information regarding seafood and helping them make ocean-friendly buying decisions. The options are highlighted on their menus and display cases with the Ocean Wise symbol, making it easier for consumers to make environmentally friendly seafood choices. The Ocean Wise logo next to a menu item is an assurance that the item is a good choice for keeping ocean life healthy and abundant for generations to come. Look for this symbol next to seafood menu options:
It’s your assurance that you are making the best choice to ensure the health of our oceans for generations to come.
