FishPhone is Blue Ocean’s new sustainable seafood text messaging service. When you send a text to 30644 with the message FISH and the name of the fish in question, you’ll receive back an assessment of that fish and better alternatives to fish with significant environmental concerns.

Registration is now open for MACO’s Fish Husbandry course which starts on April 7, 2008 and runs for six weeks. For more information, visit the MACO (Marine Aquarist Courses Online) web site for this course at http://www.aquaristcourses.org/Fish%20Husbandry/.
