SustainableMarineCa

The aquarium hobby has grown in leaps and bounds and has now reached a point where we all have the choice to move it forward in a responsible manner. We have a voice in the world and must push for corals that are aqua cultured, maricultured, sustainably collected or fragged from other hobbyists. We have a voice in changing the collection habits of those who supply our hobby with aquarium fish and can help dictate how they treated and collected. We can choose a hobby that regulates itself and must place an expectation on the industry and governments that sustainability be a top concern and that accurate data is a necessity for everyone from the hobbyist right through to the collectors in countries that depend on the trade for an living. Sustainable Marine Canada was created with this goal in mind. We at SMC do not claim to be subject matter experts on this topic, but we are learning all the time. In doing so we hope to share that knowledge with you so that you can in turn share it with others too. We have learned enough that to do our part in the world and to promote the healthy continuation of this hobby, this site was born. A portion of profits from this store will be donated to Non-profit organizations making strides in sustainable aquaria.
