SMARTER SEAFOOD BY EXPLORAMER<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2009, Exploramer founded Smarter Seafood, an eco-guide that advocates for the healthy management of marine resources in the St. Lawrence.<\/p>

Located in the town of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts on Quebec\u2019s Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula, Exploramer is a recognized science museum whose mission is to raise public awareness of the St. Lawrence marine environment and the importance of preserving it. Through its aquarium, museum, sea excursions and educational program, Exploramer educates visitors about the biodiversity of the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. <\/p>

Every year, some 32,000 people visit Exploramer. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\u201cI am pleased to have the opportunity to support Exploramer as the organization\u2019s spokesperson. Smarter Seafood fully embodies my idea of healthy eating, including respect for natural resources and using products found in our own backyard.\u201d<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Every year, in anticipation of fishing season, Smarter Seafood releases a list of marine species that are edible, sufficiently plentiful in the St. Lawrence, sustainably harvested, and which may not be overly familiar to consumers. These species are an excellent way to try new seafood products and explore new flavours while helping to protect the biodiversity of the St. Lawrence. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
