Seafood Watch is a Must-Have App for Eco-Living Foodies

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Seafood Watch is a mobile guide based on the Seafood Watch educational service from Monterey Bay Aquarium designed to help you make sustainable seafood choices quickly and easily. Seafood Guide allows you the convenience of access to an enormous amount of information right from your iPhone.

In the past I’ve had cards that I picked up with similar information and carried them with me until they were frayed and unreadable.
