By labelling fish in stores and restaurants, Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program (above, the smartphone app) gives consumers the information they need to choose sustainable, ethically harvested fish.

In this episode, Lawrence discusses the program with its Monterey Bay Aquarium founders.
