Commits to Serving Only Ocean-Friendly Seafood
Seattle, WA -- Un-Cruise Adventures
has announced a formal partnership with the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Seafood Watch program, committing to serve only seafood caught or farmed
in ocean-friendly ways. This is the first cruise line to partner with
the nationally respected consumer education initiative.
“We’re
committed to serving sustainable seafood across our fleet of yachts and
small ships,” said Dan Blanchard, CEO of Un-Cruise Adventures. “It’s the
right thing to do, and we believe our guests will agree.”
Seafood Watch
empowers consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans.
Using science-based, peer reviewed methods, Seafood Watch assesses how
wild-caught and farmed seafood affect the environment and provides
recommendations indicating which items are “Best Choices,” “Good
Alternatives,” and which ones to “Avoid.”
As a Seafood
Watch business partner, Un-Cruise Adventures pledges to serve only
seafood rated a “Best Choice” or “Good Alternative” and to educate its
customers, suppliers and employees about sustainability issues.
“Seafood Watch
is proud to welcome Un-Cruise Adventures as its newest partner,” says
Seafood Watch Director Jennifer Dianto-Kemmerly. “Working together is
critical to help create healthy and abundant oceans that will continue
to supply us with food, help regulate our climate, and provide a
livelihood for millions of people."
By partnering with Seafood Watch,
Un-Cruise Adventures reflects its awareness about growing public
concern with how seafood choices affect the world’s fish populations and
the impact of seafood production on ocean health.
Un-Cruise
Adventures operates a fleet of eight vessels carrying 22-88 guests on
adventure and river cruises in Alaska, Pacific Northwest, Columbia &
Snake Rivers, Hawaii, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Costa Rica and Panama. To book or to request additional information, contact your travel agent or Un-Cruise Adventures at 888-862-8881 or sales@un-cruise.com. View all destinations here.
