In this special Earth Day edition of Decoding Seafood by Mowi, Chef George Duran is joined by Kristen Stevens, Senior Marketing Manager at the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), for an inspiring conversation about how sustainable seafood choices can help protect our oceans and our planet—one meal at a time.

Why Oceans Matter on Earth Day 🌊

As environmental consciousness continues to grow, Earth Day reminds us that our oceans are essential to life on Earth. They generate over half of the world’s oxygen, regulate global climate patterns, and support millions of people through food systems and coastal livelihoods. Simply put, we can't talk about Earth Day without talking about ocean conservation.

Supporting Sustainability with Certified Seafood

This episode highlights MSC’s latest Earth Day campaign, which encourages consumers to look for the blue MSC label when buying seafood. That small choice signals big impact: MSC-certified fisheries meet rigorous environmental standards to ensure wild seafood is caught responsibly, with minimal impact on marine ecosystems.

By choosing certified sustainable seafood, you’re helping to preserve fish populations, support responsible fishers, and protect marine biodiversity for generations to come.

Small Choices, Big Impact

Chef George and Kristen explore how everyday actions—like buying MSC-certified salmon or trying a new sustainable seafood recipe—can ripple out to global change. They also spotlight fun, family-friendly Earth Day activities that make environmental education accessible and engaging.

The conversation celebrates everyday heroes—scientists, fishers, advocates, and conscious consumers—who are all doing their part to protect our oceans.

Good for the Planet, Great on Your Plate

Whether you’re a passionate foodie, an eco-minded parent, or just someone looking to make smarter, planet-friendly choices, this episode is packed with inspiration. Supporting sustainable seafood isn’t just good for the Earth—it’s a delicious way to be part of the solution.
