CRITICAL ISSUES CAN SOMETIMES have a way of bubbling up and striking a nerve , causing a major social media stir , and then sinking beneath the surface of public opinion — all but forgotten , with little meaningful change achieved .

When we wrote about Oceana ’ s seafood fraud report in 2013 , the revelation of such a damaged supply chain affecting both retailers and consumers alike was causing a ripple of awareness that went all the way to the top with a White House executive order . But two years later , now that the dust has settled , has anything changed ? That ’ s what we wanted to know . So for this month ’ s feature , we reached back out to Oceana to see what has changed and how far we have to go to fully achieve better seafood along its supply chain .

So read on , enjoy , and consider whether the awareness you ’ re raising lasts long enough to truly make a difference .
