" This week, at the James Beard Food Conference, cohosted by Good Housekeeping and held in the Hearst Tower in New York City, Sheila Bowman took the podium, the projector screen behind her azure, swirling, and swimming with digital fish. Bowman is Manager of Culinary and Strategic Initiatives for Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. The setting of the underwater video playing on the screen at her back was Monterey Bay. Bowman addressed the audience about the disappearance of fish from our waterways. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;re a lot fewer fish in the ocean,&amp;quot; said Bowman. &amp;quot;The scientists will tell you 90% fewer. The fishermen will tell you they&amp;#039;re just not where they used to be.&amp;quot; The reason so few fish remain, Bowman says, is that we&amp;#039;ve eaten far beyond what fish populations could sustainably support. To prevent shortages, Monterey Bay Aquarium publishes Seafood Watch, a guide for consumers who want to choose sustainable fish. You can find information about Seafood Watch on Monterey Bay&amp;#039;s website. Seafood Watch is also available in app-form, a handy reference when you&amp;#039;re in-store and in-restaurant. Fortunately, fish populations can be saved. Bowman noted that, after severely dwindling, the Atlantic swordfish population recently experienced a revival. If we choose our seafood wisely, we can make a difference. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
