What is sustainable seafood? WWF及MSN海产指南 教你环保地吃海产

Malaysians are highly dependent on the ocean – for food, for regulation of the climate, for recreation and for the sustenance of livelihoods of many people. While we may be aware that our fishes are getting smaller, more expensive and in lesser quantities, we have yet to fully comprehend the urgency of the situation.

The sustainable seafood movement is riding a wave all over the world. On a global scale it has taken the American and European markets by storm and is fast catching up in Asia, particularly in countries like Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and even Vietnam, which has the first sustainable certified seafood in Southeast Asia, the clam fishery in Ben Tre Province.

Simply put, sustainable seafood is seafood that meets the following criteria:

• fish that are caught using methods that are not harmful to the overall marine environment
• fish species that are not endangered or at the verge of collapse
• from a fishery that is well-managed, with minimal issues of accidental catch of turtles, marine mammals and juvenile fish
• fish that are farmed or grown using environmentally or ocean friendly methods

你知道吗，未来40年，我们就可能面对海产产量严缺的问题了？
你知道吗，深海就快要被掏空了，因为一个大渔网可容下13架航空747？
大多数的人可能真的不知道，所以，大马世界自然基金会及马来西亚自然协会，配合世界海洋日，联手推出大马首份海产指南手册，告诉大家更多有关海产产量和人 类过度捕捞的残酷事实。

大马人爱吃海产，每年吃掉14亿公斤，食用量是东南亚之冠。也因为这样，海产捕捞量过度，而近年来的深海渔获骤跌了90%。
而以我们目前的食用量来看，海产的产量远远不及需求。
这份英巫双语的海产指南手册，评点50样大马人常食用的海产，并用3种颜色来告诉你，哪些海产可以食用，哪些该少吃，让大家从食用习惯下手，一起环保。
