Lawrence stores weigh sustainable seafood guides
Lawrence grocery stores rely on programs from Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, FishWise, and the Marine Stewardship Council to define sustainable seafood. The Merc began a 2009 policy aligned with Monterey Bay ratings, replacing farmed Atlantic salmon with wild and more costly options. Kroger and others follow similar standards, with labels showing origin and wild or farmed status to guide shoppers.
