Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise initiative on Thursday announced that it launched an iPhone application.
The app provides consumers with more than 3,000 Ocean Wise restaurants, markets and supplier venues across Canada and a comprehensive list of ocean-friendly seafood options. It is continuously updated with ocean-friendly seafood options and Ocean Wise partners. It also allows users to search and browse different seafood species, locate nearby Ocean Wise restaurants, markets and eateries via GPS, and upload sustainable seafood images to the photo gallery.
“Our easy-to-use Ocean Wise iPhone app gives consumers the confidence to eat sustainably at an Ocean Wise restaurant, while shopping at an Ocean Wise market or interacting with Ocean Wise partners,” said John Nightingale, president of Vancouver Aquarium. “Ocean Wise is the trusted symbol of ocean-friendly seafood in Canada, and I invite all Canadians to download the app for simple, sustainable seafood decision-making.”
