In their words:
"FishPhone is Blue Ocean’s sustainable seafood text messaging service that instantly puts sustainable seafood information at your fingertips.
To find out about your seafood choice, text 30644 with the message FISH and the name of the fish in question. We’ll text you back with our assessment and better alternatives to fish with significant environmental concerns.Since its debut on October 2, 2007, FishPhone has been featured nationwide in newspapers, on television (including MSNBC), and on blogs.
“Having this information in the palm of our hands while we shop or visit our local restaurants is the start of something big! We consumers have many questions, especially as the USDA and FDA seem so overworked, under-funded and ineffectual when it comes to food safety issues; using our handheld devices to connect to the most up to date info in real time makes us the 'commanders' of our food shopping experience.” – Phil Lempert, TODAY Food Editor on MSNBC.com"
I used to intern here and I helped minimally in the creation/implementation of FishPhone. My most significant contribution was that I thought of the name, haha.
