World Ocean Day: The Best Plant-Based Seafood in the US
Happy #WorldOceanDay! We’re celebrating with plant-based alternatives to your favorite seafood. Not only can you find amazing selections while dining, you can also indulge at home with products from Mylk Guys!
Why plant-based seafood is the future
Our oceans are being depleted at an alarming rate that is unsustainable for the future of humanity and our planet as a whole. We could see fishless oceans by 2048 if we continue to treat our oceans as an unlimited resource for food and waste. Here are the facts:
🐟 75% of the World’s fisheries are exploited or depleted.
🐠 90–100 MILLION TONS of fish are pulled from our oceans each year.
🦀 As many as 2.7 TRILLION animals are pulled from the ocean each year
🐙 For every 1 pound of fish caught, up to 5 pound of unintended marine species are caught and discarded as by-kill.
🐟 As many as 40% (63 billion pounds) of fish caught globally every year are discarded.
🐬 Scientists estimate as many as 650,000 whales, dolphins, and seals are killed every year by fishing vessels.
🦈 40–50 milllion sharks are killed annually in fishing lines and nets.
The great news? We don’t have to contribute to this.
We can enjoy amazing seafood inspired meals that come from plants. With so much innovation in the plant-based industry, we’re seeing chefs get creative using hearts of palm in place of crab, mushrooms to replace scallops, and tomato to save tuna. With the help of our City Leaders, we’re bringing you the best plant-based seafood dishes at restaurants all over the US.
