REFLECTION QUESTION
Freshwater + Oceans Smart Seafood Choices

Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

Fish from the Houston ship channel should not be consumed.
I used to use the Seafood Watch app to check the sustainability of fish/seafood, but it is no longer available. Their website, however, offers another way to access the information from your phone: https://www.seafoodwatch.org/recommendations/add-seafood-watch-to-your-phone

REFLECTION QUESTION
Freshwater + Oceans Learn About Water Justice in My Area

Who is affected by polluted water or a lack of access to water in your region? How are they affected?

It seems that the people most impacted by polluted water are in developing countries. However, each year a report card is issued for Galveston Bay, and there are points of concern. For example, fish from the Houston ship channel are not safe to eat. The overall score for seafood consumption is a D. Some scores have improved over the years, some are trending in the wrong direction, and points of concern remain. See the report card at this link: https://www.galvbaygrade.org/
