    <description><![CDATA[<p class="headline">
<h3>In two weeks <a href="http://www.ota.com/standards/nosb/index.html">The National Organics Standards Board </a>is expected to vote in Washington on what kinds of fish can actually be labeled organic.  Tell Washington what YOU think by signing <a href="https://secure.consumersunion.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=NIMF_petition_organic_fish&#38;JServSessionIdr001=50w0i98if1.app45a">a petition from the Consumer&#8217;s Union.</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://planetsave.com/files/2008/10/800px-oncorhynchustschawytscha2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3204" src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/planetsave/files/2008/10/800px-oncorhynchustschawytscha2.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="322" /></a></p>
<h4>We&#8217;re all pretty clear on what &#8220;<a href="http://sustainablog.org/2008/10/23/24-african-countries-double-their-yield-using-organic-farming/">organic</a>&#8221; means when it comes to vegetables, poultry and red meat, but what about fish?  This is a question that has been on our radar for quite some time. There is a limited amount of <a href="http://sustainablog.org/2005/03/30/for-the-sustainable-seafood-lover-in-you/">seafood</a> being sold as organic at stores in the US but oftentimes these products were certified in other countries.</h4>
<p>The organic fish question still has us scratching our heads, because as of yet there has been no &#8220;official&#8221; <a href="http://eatdrinkbetter.com/">organic</a> designation when it comes to seafood in the US.  That&#8217;s about to change.
