We all love seafood and it is a part of our daily food intake. However, did you know that 75% of our seafood in Singapore is unsustainable? This means a day could come when we will no longer have sufficient seafood for consumption! [Surprised]  But what is sustainable seafood? [Thinking]  Sustainable fishing means leaving enough fish in the ocean, protecting its habitats, and ensuring the communities who depend on fishing can maintain their livelihoods. This allows fish stocks in the sea enough time to populate and not overfish them for consumption. [Strong]  What can we do?  While many might answer, “Stop Eating Fish”, it isn't as straightforward as that.

Fifty years ago, banteng, a globally endangered wild cattle and preferred prey for tigers, would have been found grazing throughout Thailand’s Mae Wong National Park. Banteng in Mae Wong National Park, Thailand However, by the 1970s logging and poachers arrived in Mae Wong National Park and banteng numbers here began decreasing, eventually disappearing from the protected area altogether within the decade. The loss of banteng in Mae Wong National Park was devastating and had knock on effects for other wildlife in the area such as tigers who rely on them as a source of food.
