SeaChoice is a collaboration of five internationally recognized organizations that brought their broad, national expertise to form SeaChoice as part of the 'Sustainable Seafood Canada' coalition to help Canadians take an active role in supporting sustainable seafood and aquaculture:

-Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society – BC Chapter

-David Suzuki Foundation

-Ecology Action Centre

-Living Oceans Society

-Sierra Club BC

The coalition aims to raise public awareness of the threats to the oceans and the solutions that sustainable fisheries offer. Member organizations have a demonstrated history of engagement in markets-based campaigning and policy reform for fisheries.

SeaChoice works in collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program.  SeaChoice science staff writes reports using Seafood Watch methodologies for several Canadian fisheries, has the reports reviewed by Seafood Watch, and develops the respective rating. For purposes of FishChoice, products listed primarily use the following ratings by SeaChoice:

 

	Best Choice	Species is abundant, well managed and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways.
	Some Concerns	Species is still a good option, but there are concerns with how they’re caught or farmed - or with the health of their habitat due to other human impacts.
