Pledge to Eat Only Sea Turtle-Safe Seafood

Around the world every day, industrial fishing takes seafood out of the ocean for restaurants, grocery stores, and our dinner tables.

These fisheries use billions of hooks and thousands of miles of nets in the ocean to catch safood, but they also catch innocent sea turtles like Fillmore.

On the high seas beyond the borders of any country, illegal fishing takes place with nobody around to stop it. 

Three types of seafooed that are especially harmful to sea turtles are swordfish, tuna, and shrimp! The swordfish and tuna are caught with longlines that also kill hundreds of sea turtles,and thousands of sharks by accident each year. Shrimp are caught in nets that trap sea turtles, unless those nets have an escape hatch for sea turtles called a Turtle Excluder Device.

Fillmore and the entire Sherman's Lagoon gang cares about healthy ocean life, and wants you to take the pledge below to stop eating seafood that is not Sea Turtle-Safe!

Pledge to Eat Only Sea Turtle-Safe Seafood

I pledge to eat only Sea Turtle-Safe Seafood!

I will not eat tuna or swordfish that has been caught using long-line gear.

I will not eat trawl-caught shrimp, unless the nets are equipped with Turtle Excluder Devices.

When in doubt, I will choose a sea turtle-safe option instead, such as salmon, talapia, clams or even chicken - or just vegetables!
