Become a member
Membership in the Endangered Fish Alliance is free. We are a not-for-profit organization. We ask only that our members do not serve our four endangered fish and we encourage them to use this web site to learn about the state of the world's fisheries before choosing seafood for their menus or their inventory. The Endangered Fish Alliance has now expanded its membership to include food professionals from cities across Canada.
If you are a restaurant owner or work in a food-related industry, and want to join, you can sign up online.
