Seafood and Your Health
Seafood can play an important role in a balanced diet. Overall seafood is very healthy for us, though in some cases we can risk exposure to harmful levels of toxins when certain types of seafood are eaten frequently.
At the Seafood Watch program, we research fisheries and fish farming practices and their impact on the marine environment. Our printable seafood pocket guides and online seafood guide also include health consumption information from Environmental Defense Fund.
By using the Seafood Watch pocket guides, consumers are supporting seafood that is healthy and sustainable for themselves and the environment.
Our "Seafood and Your Health" fact sheet gives an overview of the benefits and risks of eating seafood and some suggestions for where to get additional information.
