Fish Free February’s mission is to empower people with the knowledge and passion to make a difference for the oceans through their choices as consumers.
We kick things off with a challenge every February, but our goal is to reduce seafood consumption and encourage mindful seafood choices all year round.
By eating less seafood, making more sustainable food choices, and helping to spread the word about marine issues, you play a vital role in preserving our oceans.
Whether you're taking on the challenge this February or making a permanent change to your diet, together, we can create a positive ripple effect for the oceans. Let’s make a difference, one meal at a time!
