Today, about half of the seafood we eat comes from aquaculture, or fish farming. By 2030, it will be two-thirds! With an anticipated 10 billion people expected to inhabit the planet by 2050, sustainable approaches to feeding the world are more critical now than ever before.

This , we encourage guests to keep fish in our future by buying sustainable and responsible seafood! Visit https://bit.ly/3PUOqGH to learn what seafood is fished or farmed in ways that protect ocean health.
