Fishphone to the Rescue

The coolest thing I’ve heard about in a while: Blue Ocean Institute has launched Fishphone, a convenient and instant way to get updates on the safety and status of fish. Choose a fish that you want to know more about. Then text the word fish and the type of fish you're curious about to Fishphone at 30644. You'll immediately receive a text with the news. At home, you can check out fishphone.org to access the same information. —Denise Shoukas
