Exploramer launches their new program, “Smarter Seafood, for a sound management of marine resources” during the summer of 2009. The goal of this program is to entice restaurants and fish stores all around the Gaspe Peninsula to propose some of the more obscure flavours amongst the numerous comestible species of the St. Lawrence in light of encouraging sustainable development and the protection of biodiversity. 

This certification program will encourage the diversification of marine product consumption and allow fishermen to diversify their catches. In the end, this will help decrease the overfishing of certain species. Laminaria, green urchins, seal flesh, mackerel… whether you are feeling bold or timid, a new savour awaits!

Look for the Smarter Seafood logo in restaurants and fish stores around Gaspé Peninsula and let your taste buds show you the riches the St. Lawrence has to offer.
