Tell Legal Seafoods: Stop attacking sustainable seafood!

The Issue

Roger Berkowitz, President and CEO of Legal Seafoods, one of the largest commercial seafood purchasers in the country, is attempting to discredit sustainable seafood programs - calling efforts from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and others "Brainwashing". Legal Seafoods takes their mockery further with their "Sustainable Seafood"  event later this month co-hosted with the Culinary Guild of New England where imported tiger shrimp and cod will be served. 

Science based sustainable seafood programs have been at the forefront of practical conservation, combining marine protection and industry principles to create market based environmental solutions. Baseless attacks on sustainable seafood efforts are detrimental to Ocean health AND long term industry viability.  Tell Legal Seafoods  and the Culinary Guild of New England you support sustainable seafood!
