Retail Survey The big picture confusing to the customers," says Shebilske. "Retailers are more con- fused than most consumers about sustainability," says Tom Waltimire, specialist for Fla.-based Winn-Dixie Stores. However, Winn-Dixie carries mostly sustainable seafood because some of its shoppers are concerned about whether their seafood is sustainable or not. Methodology SeaFood Business' biennial survey for the seafood retail industry was conducted online in May 2012. On May 8, 2012, 1,589 sea- food retailers were invited to participate in the survey. Te invitations were sent via email and 116 people responded for a 7.3 percent response rate. Raffle winner SeaFood Business solicited our readers to complete the survey and they responded with enthusiasm. Our $100 winner is Nancy Chavez-Berg of Nantucket Shoals Seafood Market in Albuquerque, N.M.
