Quickfish guide
The Quickfish guide was compiled by fish for tomorrow with the help of scientists, fishers, and other experts in the field. The aim of the guide is to provide information on various fish which are consumed locally in order to be able to rate them based on environmental sustainability. Information was obtained through various sources and the fish were ultimately rated based on; health of fish stocks, fishing methods and its consequences, social consequences, and any other environmental impacts of fishing, farming, importation, etc. The Quickfish guide is based on information available at the time of compiling. fish for tomorrow aims to update it every two years.
