As most of us are aware at this point, our oceans are being overfished at an alarming rate. At our present rate of fishing and population growth, we stand a good chance of destroying the ecosystems of our most enjoyed fish in our lifetimes. For any tuna or swordfish fan, this is a scary thought.

In my surfing this morning (pun intended) I came across two really useful sites, Overfishing.org, a website dedicated to the topic, and a Seafood Watch Pocket Guide powered by the Monteray Bay Aquarium. They are both full of great information, and I learned about what types of fish I should avoid in my region and what types are the best to get. Fortunately, I can still eat tuna.
