"What is Sustainable Seafood?
Sustainable seafood is harvested and produced in a manner that provides for our needs today without compromising the environment or our ability to provide for the needs of future generations. GMRI's work strives to enable both ecologic and economic viability, recognizing that they go hand in hand." (GMRI, Website)
We here at Maine Lobster Direct strongly believe that healthy seas and the creatures that live with in it are very important to the balance of life on this planet. We believe that purchasing sustainably caught and harvested seafood is not only better for our bottom line, but for the bottom line of all of us!
Right down the street from our facilities is an amazing non profit organization called the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. They work to help strengthen five essential elements that define an enduring relationship with the ocean:
- Healthy Ecosystem
- Sustainable Industries
- Vibrant Communities
- Abundant Opportunities
- Inspired Children
Please check out their website and get a sense of the amazing work they are doing.
