At the same time, SNP is building awareness of the importance of ensuring a sustainable supply of fish and shellfish for future food security and a livelihood for the almost 2 million Americans whose jobs depend on seafood. The science is strong: Seafood can improve your life expectancy, make you smarter, support your immune health, and overall wellness. Live longer, healthier and happier with seafood. SNP is addressing the country’s public health crisis through education programs that inspire Americans to incorporate more seafood and omega-3s into their diets for improved health as per leading health organizations.
