What is Smarter Seafood?

With a view to sustainable development and protection of biodiversity, Smarter Seafood promotes a number of less familiar marine species of the St. Lawrence that are under-exploited by consumers, restaurateurs, fish markets and grocery stores across Quebec.

 

Promoting sustainable seafood consumption

To encourage seafood consumption that is environmentally friendly, supports the economy, and is good for both our own well-being and for society, Smarter Seafood has developed a number of tools for consumers.
