Araceli Flores 10/25/2016 7:09 PMToday I downloaded the Seafood Watch app. I read the "about sustainability" portion of the app and was amazed at the information I learned. I now know what to look for and what questions to ask when I am purchasing seafood at my local supermarket. I had no idea what type of an impact wild fishing had on the ocean. I was also happy to see that Whole Foods is on board with sustainability in seafood. -
