The Super green List: Connecting Human and Ocean Health

According to seafoodwatch.org, seafood plays an important role in a balanced diet. It’s often rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help boost immunity and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and other ailments.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is releasing a “super green” list that ranks fish by sustainability and levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Species that make the list include farmed mussels and oysters, line- or pole-caught albacore tuna, wild-caught Alaskan salmon and Pacific sardines.
