Sustainability in Supplements: What Consumers Need to Know

Did you know that the supplement industry plays a role in ocean conservation? Many supplements rely on marine-sourced ingredients, and not all are harvested sustainably. As eco-conscious consumers, it’s essential to choose brands that prioritize sustainability to protect our oceans and marine life.

🔍 Here’s what to look for when choosing supplements:
✅ Sustainable Sourcing – Opt for brands that use responsibly harvested marine ingredients.
✅ Eco-Friendly Packaging – Say NO to plastic waste and YES to biodegradable or recyclable packaging. ♻️
✅ Third-Party Certifications – Look for labels like MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) or Friend of the Sea to ensure ethical practices.
✅ Transparency – Support companies that share their sustainability efforts openly.

By making informed choices, we can help reduce overfishing, protect marine biodiversity, and minimize pollution. 💙

Saturday Morning Bird Rescue: Meet Vern the Royal Tern! 🐦💙

Every dive adventure at Ocean First Key Largo brings surprises, but today’s was extra special! Vern the Royal Tern was spotted on the rocks near our boat, struggling with a broken wing. With some quick paddling, we got him safely to the dock, and Captain Keith transported him to (Florida Keys Wild Bird Center) for care. 🏥✨

Fun fact: Vern has zero chill when it comes to car rides—he made sure to voice (and bite) his opinion all the way to the bird hospital. 😂

We’re wishing him a smooth recovery so he can soar over Key Largo again soon! 💙 Have you ever had a wild animal rescue moment? Share your stories below! ⬇️
