This summer, the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Santa Monica Seafood are collaborating on a first-of-its-kind retail promotion, showcasing the benefits of certified, responsibly raised seafood and ASC’s sea green label to Southern California’s shoppers and diners.
ASC is a certification and labeling program for responsibly farmed seafood. Santa Monica Seafood is the largest wholesale, seafood-only distributor in the Southwest, including market and café locations in Santa Monica and Costa Mesa, Calif. The nonprofit organization and sustainability-driven company have been long-time partners in promoting the sustainable sourcing of seafood, supporting responsible seafood farmers and educating shoppers.
