The Sustainable Seafood Blog Project

The Sustainable Seafood Project started as a post idea for my own blog. Some college friends of mine started a company to connect Alaskan salmon fishermen with Midwest consumers, and I wanted to feature them in a post about sustainable seafood.

But when I started working with Helen, one of the company’s fabulous Salmon Stewards, to develop the post, it occurred to me that there was potential for a larger movement in the food blog community. As a group, we reach a large and diverse readership, and our voices can be powerful catalysts for change and awareness.

So I decided to launch the Sustainable Seafood Blog Project. The goal is to bring food bloggers together in a conversation about sustainability, and to provide resources for sustainable seafood to bloggers and readers alike. Bloggers who join the project are named Project Partners, and agree to use a seafood post as an opportunity to talk about sustainability and announce their new Partner status.
