Mobile Apps Help Find Sustainable Seafood
This post is part of a special National Geographic news series on global water issues.
Not long ago, should you desired to understand what type of seafood was best for the environment, your tools didn't get any more high-tech than the usual wallet card or a fridge magnet. But the fridge magnet does not help much when you are at the grocery store, and wallet cards are easy to bid farewell to (just ask me how many times I've forgotten mine). Luckily,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Günstig Moncler Jacken Günstig Moncler Weste Billig Österreich[/b][/url], sustainable seafood watchdogs have kept pace with technology and today,[url=http://peutereyoutletitaliaonline.olimx.com/][b]Peuterey Uomo Jacket[/b][/url], as with almost anything else in our lives, there's an app for your.
Nowhere Ocean Institute recently launched the free FishPhone for iPhone. The app was developed along with a sustainable winegrower,[url=http://rogervivierheelssale.webstarts.com/][b]roger vivier heels online[/b][/url], so along with seafood rankings,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke Outlet Salg Parajumpers Long Bear Online Norge Butikk[/b][/url], the app includes recipes and wine pairings. No iPhone? Blue Ocean is still offering FishPhone through SMS. Just send "FISH SALMON" or "FISH LOBSTER" to 30644 and you'll get a text message back ranking the fish's sustainability. (The service is free of charge,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Long Bear[/b][/url], but as with every texting, you could be charged standard messaging rates out of your carrier.) FishPhone also flags seafood that's recognized to contain high amounts of contaminants like mercury and PCBs. (Get
The Monterey Bay Aquarium,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]Discount Soccer Shoes online[/b][/url], which publishes the Seafood Watch guide, includes a free iPhone app that allows you to access their database without an web connection. The app uses GPS to determine where you are and what seafood may be available in your neighborhood. It also updates every 6 months to keep the information current. (Get Seafood Watch, link will open iTunes)
Safe Seafood costs a dollar,[url=http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/][b]cheap roger vivier sale[/b][/url], which makes it infinitely more expensive than the free alternatives,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], but it's the only app that compiles information from ten different seafood rankings to create its list. (The developer of Safe Seafood didn't return a request for discuss which ten information sources they used,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka Schweiz Online[/b][/url], but we all know that a couple of options are Monterey Bay's list and the Environmental Defense Fund's toxicity ratings.) The app also enables you to sort by "best to worst."
Again, this app costs $1, however the developers donate 10% of all proceeds to the Environmental Defense Fund. (Get , link will open iTunes)
Why is sustainable seafood so important? Poor management practices can pollute or destroy habitats (like when mangrove forests are destroyed to construct shrimp farms, which in turn release waste and disease into the open water); bad harvest practices can hurt endangered species (like when a trawler or net picks up leatherback turtles rather than the species a fisherman hoped for),[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.olimx.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers with[/b][/url], and overfishing can weaken important links within the food chain.
