We at RightFishWrongFish encourage established groups to collaborate in ways that extend the reach or impact of their message, in this case, helping to protect the health and life of the oceans. RFWR shows which fish are healthy to eat and sustainable and which are not – clearly presenting information from two separate and leading groups, in one site. This was our idea, not theirs. It should be theirs (Oceana, and Marine Stewardship Council), and other organizations sharing common goals. See www.onespace.org for other examples.
