Harmons is partnering with Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch to chart the course towards enjoying only sustainable seafood.

Monterey Bay Aquarium has made it easy to identify which fish are sustainable with their Seafood Watch program. Basic criteria for the Seafood Watch program is based on where the seafood came from and how was it caught. Using this criteria and other research and evaluations, each seafood is given a rating.

Harmons will be labeling all of our seafood into these three categories, based on the Seafood Watch criteria. Green is best, yellow is good, and red is avoid.

"By partnering with the Seafood Watch program, Harmons hopes to help consumers purchase seafood that has been caught or farmed in ways that support a healthy ocean for current and future generations," company officials say.
