Sustainable Seafood Canada is a coalition of leading Canadian conservation organizations working together via the SeaChoice program to raise public awareness of the threats to oceans and the solutions that sustainable fisheries offer. Sustainable Seafood Canada brings together broad national expertise from the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society – BC Chapter, David Suzuki Foundation, Ecology Action Centre, Living Oceans Society, and the Sierra Club BC.

Member organizations have a demonstrated history of engagement in markets-based campaigning and policy reform for fisheries.

A seafood buyer would want to choose SeaChoice as their ranking system if they were based in Canada, and wanted to use a ranking system that is backed by major Canadian environmental organizations.

Sea Choice uses the rankings of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program.  Sea Choice science staff also writes reports using Seafood Watch methodologies for fisheries relevant to Canadian buyers.  These reports are reviewed by Seafood Watch and result in a new ranking. All reports are made public by Seafood Watch and/or Sea Choice

Products in the Sea Choice ranking system may be ranked in two ways:

GREEN		Best Choice: This species is currently fished/harvested sustainably and represents a best choice. Enjoy, while supporting responsible fishing and coastal livelihoods.
YELLOW		Some Concerns: Seafood that should be consumed infrequently, or when a green choice is not available. There are conservation concerns with the current populations or practices in this fishery.
