    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?

    I don't eat fish so yes I would say my eating habits fall within my regions guidelines. If I were to buy/eat fish I could look for the MSC stamp or ask if the fish is sustainably caught.
