This week is NZ’s first Sustainable Seafood Week! We all have a role to play to look after our seas, and picking sustainable seafood is a great way to help. Sustainable seafood has been caught in a way that means there’s plenty more fish in the sea now and in the future. You can look for the blue fish tick label on a seafood product!
