MISSION: To help the Santa Barbara community make conscientious seafood choices that support sustainable and environmentally sensitive fisheries.
...We want to shift our community’s seafood consumption to sustainable sources, consumer by consumer and restaurant by restaurant.
By helping restaurants and markets replace unsustainable seafood items with sustainable ones, we hope to shift thousands of dollars spent supporting unsustainable fisheries to supporting the new sustainable seafood movement. - SBMuseum of Natural History
