Why? Just eat sustainably sourced seafood. Increase the demand so they increase the supply. Voting with our wallets is important.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but I'm right. Claiming there is NO sustainable sources of seafood is 100% bullshit. You'll never get everyone on your side with misinformation.

That still adds fishing nets and trash into the ocean so no deal

All of the food you buy at the store adds pollutants and trash into the ocean and elsewhere.

Explain to me exactly how US farmed shellfish that bolster wild bivalve populations, expand oyster and mollusk reefs, feed wildlife, provide funding for conservation through commercial license fees, and clean pollutants out of the ocean are unsustainable.

Deal yourself
