- Ms. Rose's Fine Food & Cocktails has announced their platinum partnership with the South Carolina Aquarium’s Good Catch program. From sourcing seafood from local fisheries, participating in the aquarium's Single-Use Plastic Reduction initiative and composting to eliminate food waste, the Good Catch Program is one of many efforts the restaurant is making in their overall goal to generate awareness and promote sustainable food consumption. – The Good Catch program is built on three partnership levels – Basic, Gold and Platinum – with each level requiring restaurants to maintain a certain percentage of their annual seafood inventory to be locally sourced. As a platinum partner, Ms. Rose's is committed to raising awareness on sustainability by sourcing majority of their seafood from locally based fisheries. The program defines local to include southeastern regional fisheries (North Carolina to east coast Florida) and defines a Good Catch as local, sustainable and one that is caught or farmed with consideration for the long-term viability of the species.In addition to sourcing at least half of their annual seafood inventory from local fisheries, Ms. Rose's, as a platinum partner, follows the SC Aquarium's Single-Use Plastic Reduction Initiative. – To meet the criterion of the initiative, Ms. Rose's does not offer plastic bags or Styrofoam to customers, paper straws are available by request only and the restaurant and kitchen follow local recycling regulations. Additionally, Ms. Rose's offers reusable tableware for onsite dining and offers plastic flatware for to-go food by request only. By reducing their plastic single-use products in combination with supporting local fisheries, Ms. Rose's is helping to strengthen the ocean's ecological balance as a whole.Another major initiative of Ms. Rose's is the elimination of food waste. By using the Charleston-based SMART Recycling compost program, Ms. Rose's is drastically reducing their environmental footprint. SMART Recycling is an organic hauling company that provides restaurants with SMART Carts to collect their food waste and then transports the waste to local composting facilities. Through their Table-To-Farm Sharing Program, SMART Recycling buys back the finished compost and returns it to local farms and community organizations.
