Oceans and Marine Species at Risk

According to Greenpeace, overfishing and destructive fishing are among the most significant threats facing our oceans. Many fish are on the RED List, meaning they are being pushed closer and closer to extinction. Some of the more commonly eaten fish on the list include: Atlantic Cod, Atlantic Salmon, Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Orange Roughy, South Atlantic Albacore Tuna, and Yellowfin Tuna. (Did you notice Four kinds of tuna are on this list?) To see the complete list go to www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/oceans/seafood/red-fish Please be careful and try to avoid eating the fish on the red list.
