Keeping the bar set high on Aquaculture Stewardship Certification

Living Oceans is an active stakeholder in the Aquaculture Stewardship Certification process, responding to every application for certification in Canada and participating in the scheme's various projects to revise the Salmon Standard.

Sustainable Seafood

No matter where you live, seafood is one of the most common—and tasty—ways to connect to the ocean. At Living Oceans Society we are proud shoppers of fish and shellfish.

And like a growing number of Canadians, we’re also concerned about how fishing and aquaculture practices are pushing some ocean ecosystems to the brink of collapse. Overfished stocks, damaging gears, unintended bycatch, chemical use and the spread of disease; it’s enough to make you lose your appetite.
