How does the Aquarium support right whale research?
Today, many species have been fished to near extinction and some seafood is caught or produced in ways that harm the environment. Through the Sustainable Seafood Programs in our conservation department, the Aquarium is working to help maintain healthy fish populations while supporting the fishing industry. The Aquarium works directly with seafood buyers and sellers, such as Ahold USA, Stop & Shop’s parent company, and Gorton’s, to help these companies make environmentally responsible seafood choices for their stores. We also educate consumers on which fish provide the best seafood choices and sponsor events, such as the Celebrate Seafood Dinner Series, to highlight sustainable seafood.
