10 Fun Ways to Support #OceanWiseMonth this February

February is #OceanWiseMonth! Here are 10 things YOU can do to support the sustainable seafood movement this February:  

1.Attend the Ocean Wise Chowder Chowdown in Vancouver (February 20) or Toronto (February 26). Watch top chefs compete to make the best sustainable seafood chowder, taste and vote for your favourites, and sip on local craft beer, wine and spirits. Get your tickets here before they sell out! 

2.Follow @OceanWiseLife on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Share our posts and spread the word about sustainable seafood. Use tag @OceanWiseLife and #OceanWiseMonth for a chance to be featured on our stories. 

3.Eat or buy Ocean Wise recommended seafood at one of our partner restaurants or retail stores.  

4.Subscribe to our Quarterly Catch newsletter for updates on events, new partners and program news. Only sent 4x a year, this high-quality newsletter won’t clog your inbox. Subscribe at the bottom of our website.  

5.Read and share an Ocean Wise Seafood Aquablog. We write about sustainable seafood news and highlight our amazing partners across the country.
