According to Barton Seaver’s discussion about sustainability, he said it is the capacity to endure and maintain the supplies of seafood. When we talk of seafood, we get curious of how it impacts to us when we eat seafood. Even though we consume a lot of seafood from the ocean, it puts in a vital condition to our own lives. It is important that we should know how does seafood impact to some of our concerns. By learning more about “sustainability”, it will enable us to shift our perception of seafood away from goods to an opportunity to recover our ecosystem.

            We would want to gain sources on seafood sustainability to put in our advantages to evolve in a changing system. It would put us in a better knowledge in understanding of the ocean as a resources. Barton believed it would be useful to understand our environment if we replenish the ocean’s resources. For an example, if a consumer was informed where the fishes comes from, then the consumer can make a responsible choice what to do about it. Even a sustainable fisherman can target specific places where they find fishes in a lower food chain. That way it can reproduce more quickly to sustain their populations.

            Buying a sustainable seafood may be difficult because many fisheries are rapidly declining due an unstainable fishing practices. We want fishes that are sustainable because it is a healthy option. From the video called “Make Better Seafood Choices-Seafood Watch”, the speaker proposed an idea that we can download a Seafood Watch app, then we can ask the person in the seafood counter, ask them where the fishes come from and how they catch it. Even if they don’t know the information we are looking for, they would know that someone care for the environment. We can also share this information among to our friends and give them the idea to help them find better choices of fishes that are available.
