De VISwijzer beoordeelt vissen, schaal- en schelpdieren, die in Nederland te koop zijn op duurzaamheid. Vissen kunnen vier verschillende kleuren krijgen: Blauw - Keurmerk Kies het MSC keurmerk voor duurzame visserij en het ASC keurmerk voor verantwoorde kweek. Groen- Goede keus Deze vis is niet overbevist of wordt zorgvuldig gekweekt, met minimale schade aan de natuur. Geel - Tweede keus Er zijn nog problemen met de visserij of kweek. Rood - Vermijden Koop deze vis niet, ze wordt overbevist of de manier van vangst of kweek is te belastend voor de natuur. Met de VISwijzer kun je gemakkelijk zoeken welke vis verantwoord is en welke niet. Wel zo handig als je vis koopt in de supermarkt of een lekker gerecht uitzoekt in een restaurant! De VISwijzer is een initiatief van Good Fish Foundation, Stichting De Noordzee (SDN) en het Wereld Natuur Fonds (WNF).
