After a trip to Cape Town's very cool Two Ocean's Aquarium, what could be better than a lovely seafood platter at one of the many nearby restaurants?
One thing that would be better is if you could first take the time to have a look at this database of marine species that are endangered. Thanks to the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative for this information. All species in the red column are protected and not supposed to be commercially fished. Those in the orange column are borderline and those in the green... well, they're probably looking forward to moving to the orange column soon.
Many restaurants either do not know they are serving endangered species or are willingly breaking the law for financial gain. Your help with understanding this problem and pointing out the error of the restauranter's ways will be much appreciated by all marine life, including those at the aquarium.
We all need to act responsibly to ensure a planet we can pass on to the future.
