They are home to 230,000 known species (95% of the ocean hasn't been explored so many many more) which are part of our ecosystems. They provide food, transportation, natural beauty, and are massive carbon sinks!  

The advisories within Washington that I found were mostly related to avoiding fish that have contaminants, or that are high in Mercury. There were also recommendations for how much fish you should eat in one meal. They weren't really based on any environmental statistics though. I think there is a lot more that our local governments and federal government could do to increase the health of the fish in our region and all throughout the United States and the world. One example would be more protections for Salmon and removing or working on infrastructure to help the salmon get across some of the dams around Washington state. 

Pollinators are so so important! They are the reason we have food to eat and in order to preserve the ecosystems we live in we need to protect them. 

Because our entire ecosystem relies on them!! 1 out of every 3 bites we take relies on bees. There are tons more pollinators like bats, hummingbirds, ants, etc. 

I have most recently been focusing on reducing my food waste. One of the ways that I am working to that is by saving all of my veggie scraps like kale stems, onion skin & offcuts, etc. for homemade veggie stock, plus by making my own veggie stock I can avoid all of the packaging that comes along with veggie stock from the grocery store.
