Fish Phone
by Rich AwnIt’s your first date and you’re at the pricey seafood restaurant of her choice. You want to impress and seem savvy by ordering the “right” dish. You seem to remember reading something about tuna… yeah, tuna… it’s bad right? Wait… or was it salmon… or grouper? DANGIT!!!
Before you soak your shirt with anxiety and opt for the garden salad, your aquaculture-alert-on-the-go cell phone function has arrived… introducing, Fish Phone!
Our fishing-forward friends a the Blue Ocean Institute are the master mariners behind the “first sustainable seafood text messaging service.” From geared up smart phone users to pay-as-you-gosters, anyone can tap the up-to-the-nanosecond news on species with significant environmental concerns.
The fish are ranked according to Blue Ocean’s evaluation of species’ life history, abundance, in the wild, habitat concerns, and catch method or farming system. Health advisories are also provided indicating unsafe levels of mercury, PCBs, and dioxins.
Now take a deep breath, order the halibut, and get on with the courtship you eco STUD!
Thanks Fish Phone!
