Sustainable Seafood

Seafoam Project is focusing on sustainable seafood: seafood that is caught and/or farmed with little damage to the environment. The high demand for seafood has been leading to destructive fishing and farming practices. You don't have to give up seafood, but instead should be aware of the best choices that are easily available! 
                    
Seafoam Project is working on an educational campaign to raise awareness regarding sustainable seafood and we cannot wait to share it with you! Until then, here is an interesting article we hope you will check out!

Storm Drain Stenciling!

October 3rd, Seafoam Project Volunteers added "Do Not Dump..." plaques to Simi Valley neighborhoods! We stenciled 20 storm drains that day. In addition to the plaques, we removed debris and trash from the storm drains and recorded information onto data cards. We removed plastic bottles, glass, food wrappers, and more - which would have made its way into waterways and the ocean. 

Remember, storm drains and catch basins are for collecting water only. These draining systems have no filtration or trash collection process in place and drain directly to our waterways and ocean!

Here you can see volunteers adding adhesive to the plaques before placing them near the storm drain! 

We hope you will join Seafoam Project's next storm drain stenciling event!

A reminder

Environmental Studies

Just got back from a Moorpark College Environmental Studies class! Seafoam Project had the opportunity to share with the class Seafoam Project's mission, goals, and our upcoming events! We also got to sit in during the beginning of the class and we really enjoyed it! If you ever get a chance to take an Environmental Studies class - do it!
