The Lanka Environment Fund, together with Club Ceylon, recently launched ‘A Practical Guide to Purchasing Responsible Seafood in Sri Lanka’ (The Guide). The 12-page document is meant to help consumers make “responsible choices from market to plate”, and is available in all three languages online at lankaenvironmentfund.org.

With time, it could become a food security problem.”
