They are an international organisation whose mission is the conservation of the marine environment. They ensure that companies and products that are Friends of the Sea certified are respecting the ocean and its resources and fish is sourced in line with strict standards for fishing methods and farming. This includes no use of growth hormones, respecting endangered species, looking after critical habitats and not exploiting target fish stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest practice guidelines are followed rigidly, and independent certification bodies conduct audits to ensure strict adherence to the criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall fish, such as Mackerel, Sardines and Anchovies are considered the most environmentally sustainable options, they are said to reproduce rapidly and so replenish the population more effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega 3 from algae sources are thought to be more environmentally sustainable and is becoming more widely recognised as a beneficial, vegan alternative to fish oil. Fish feed on algae as a primary source of omega 3, this is why fish has a high concentration of these beneficial omega 3 fatty acids. Algae is considered a renewable source of omega 3, because of its small size it is easily grown on a large scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSustainability is essential in ensuring that there is a future supply of marine life for our current generation and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/hp-2711.myshopify.com\/collections\/sustainable-omega-3.oembed","provider":"HealthPost","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
