Sustainable Seafood Myths

It’s easy to fall into misinformation when it comes to our oceans. The good news is that more people are taking accountability for protecting marine ecosystems and the wildlife they support. But even as awareness grows, some terms, like “sustainable,” are often misunderstood.

We sometimes think “sustainable” simply means using less or limiting consumption. In reality, sustainability is about how something is produced, harvested, and brought to market. It's about the practices behind the product, not just the quantity we use.

We would like to share some myths to provide you with accurate information about sustainable seafood.
Myth #1: Some species are more sustainable than others

The belief that certain fish species are inherently sustainable while others are not is a common misconception. In reality, the sustainability of seafood depends not on the species itself but on how and where it is harvested. Effective management practices, regional regulations, and fishing methods all play crucial roles in determining whether a fishery is sustainable.
Myth #2 : We Should Stop Fishing Entirely

Ceasing fishing altogether is not a practical or sustainable solution. While concerns about overfishing are valid, ending all fishing would simply shift the global demand for protein from the ocean to land. That shift could lead to increased deforestation, higher freshwater usage, greater carbon emissions, and additional pressure on already-strained agricultural systems.
Myth #3: Sustainable seafood is too expensive.

While some sustainably sourced seafood can carry a higher price tag, it’s not always more expensive, and the price often reflects the true cost of responsible production. Sustainable practices prioritize long-term health of fish stocks, fair wages, and minimal environmental impact, which aren’t always accounted for in cheaper alternatives.

That said, there are budget-friendly, sustainable options available. Frozen seafood, canned products (such as sardines and squid), and underutilized species (like urchin or mussels) are often more affordable and just as nutritious. Choosing seasonal or locally abundant fish can also help reduce costs.

Ultimately, sustainability isn’t just about price—it’s about value. By investing in well-managed fisheries, we support healthy oceans, coastal communities, and future access to seafood.
