The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, a consumer watchdog program, has gotten a sizable donation from a tech exec in order to expand their mission.

According to The Chronicle, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy have donated $10 million towards the program. The money will help the program expand its reach internationally, where standards for sustainable fishing practices are typically less stringent. Over 90% of the seafood eaten in the United States is imported.

"While we've seen tremendous progress in recovery of U.S. fisheries, so much more needs to be done globally to ensure food security and healthy oceans for the future," said aquarium executive director Julie Packard in a statement.

"It's gratifying to have our successes recognized by the Schmidts. With their support, we will now be able to accomplish so much more," she added.

Seafood Watch was started in 1999 by the aquarium and regularly publishes detailed lists guiding consumers about the best choices for sustainable seafood. To find out more about the program, visit their website where you can read the lists and also download the app.
