Mobile Apps Help Find Sustainable Seafood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
This post is part of a special National Geographic news series on global water issues.
Not long ago, should you wanted to understand what type of seafood was best for environmental surroundings, your tools didn't get any more high-tech than the usual wallet card or perhaps a fridge magnet. But the fridge magnet doesn't help much when you are at the grocery store,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and wallet cards are easy to bid farewell to (just ask me how many times I've forgotten mine). Luckily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sustainable seafood watchdogs have kept pace with technology and now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as with almost anything else in our lives, there's an app for your.
The Blue Ocean Institute recently launched the free FishPhone for iPhone. The app was created in conjunction with a sustainable winegrower,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so along with seafood rankings, the app includes recipes and wine pairings. No iPhone? Blue Ocean is still offering FishPhone through SMS. Just send "FISH SALMON" or "FISH LOBSTER" to 30644 and you'll get a text back ranking the fish's sustainability. (The service is free of charge, but as with every texting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you could be charged standard messaging rates from your carrier.) FishPhone also flags seafood that is recognized to contain high levels of contaminants like mercury and PCBs. (Get
The Monterey Bay Aquarium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which publishes the Seafood Watch guide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has a free iPhone app that lets you access their database with no web connection. The app uses GPS to find out where you are and what seafood may be obtainable in your neighborhood. Additionally, it updates every six months to keep the info current. (Get Seafood Watch, link will open iTunes)
Safe Seafood costs a dollar, that makes it infinitely more costly compared to free alternatives, but it is the only app that compiles information from ten different seafood rankings to create its list. (The developer of Safe Seafood did not return a request for discuss which ten information sources they used, but we know that two of them are Monterey Bay's list and also the Environmental Defense Fund's toxicity ratings.) The app also enables you to sort by "best to worst."
Again, this app costs $1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however the developers donate 10% of all proceeds to the Environmental Defense Fund. (Get ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], link will open iTunes)
Why is sustainable seafood essential? Poor management practices can pollute or destroy habitats (like when mangrove forests are destroyed to build shrimp farms, which then release waste and disease in to the open water); bad harvest practices can hurt endangered species (like whenever a trawler or net accumulates leatherback turtles rather than the species a fisherman hoped for), and overfishing can weaken important links within the food chain.
