Sustainable Seafood is On the Menu at Marriott Manila

#FoodFriday

Studies reveal that if sustainable fishing is practiced, 90 million people will continue to be fed by 2050. With this premise begins Mariott Hotel Manila's support for sustainable fishing, that is committing to preparing and serving fish in season. That is because specific fish species are available during certain times of the year, determined by tides and the moon, and this will allow fish stocks to replenish themselves. The hotel will also serve fish caught by hook and line.

Sustainable Seafood Week

As one of the select participants in the country of the Sustainable Seafood Week on February 15-21, 2016, the hotel shows its commitment to improve the health of the oceans by pursuing responsible business practice in sourcing seafood products from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Its awareness of the status and challenges of seafood in the country has made local seafood part of its menu since the hotel’s inception in 2009. By participating in the the Sustainable Seafood Week, Marriott only reinforces its advocacy to ensure that only fresh, sustainable seafood will be available for the customers to enjoy. Likewise, diners will be conscious of the seafood they are eating.

February Feasts of Sustainable Seafood

To highlight the hotel’s support, Marriott puts the Sustainable Seafood Promotion on its menu this February.
