The prices of over-fished species continue to rise to meet demand, but consumers -- whether buying from a local market or at a restaurant -- can make a conscious choice to swap those out in favor of more biodiverse species. Erika Feller, regional director for the Marine Stewardship Council -- a global nonprofit organization that works to end overfishing and promote traceability -- told "Good Morning America" that in the pandemic's wake with more people focused on health and food costs, sustainable seafood options are ready to turn the tide. "Two common myths that prevent consumers from increasing their consumption of sustainable seafood are that certified seafood is not available where they shop, and that it may not fit into their budget," Feller said.
For Republicans, Trump's star-making power and election conspiracies thrived on the ticket in swing state Pennsylvania, but one controversial North Carolina-based member of Congress heavy in MAGA-orbit fell to scandal. Here are three major takeaways from the primaries in Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Idaho. Former President Donald Trump notched a significant win in the Republican primary for the Pennsylvania governor's race with the success of state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a conservative grassroots candidate who attended the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington on Jan 6.

As Democrats have ratcheted up condemnation of "replacement theory" in the wake of Saturday's mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, some Republicans on Capitol Hill have shied away from rejecting the racist idea that some members of their own party have espoused. At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked repeatedly about his views of "replacement theory," a conspiracy theory that holds that Democrats are trying to replace white Americans with undocumented immigrants and people of color in order to win elections. McConnell was asked whether he, as the party leader, had a responsibility to speak out against the theory, which authorities say was adopted by the 18-year-old white man accused of killing 10 Black people at a local food market.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the front-runner in the state's Democratic Senate primary race, completed a "successful procedure" to get a pacemaker and defibrillator on Tuesday afternoon, his campaign said later that day, after he suffered a stroke late last week. The procedure began at 3:15pm, John was released at 5:56pm, and he has been given the all-clear that it was successful.

One out of every six deaths in 2019 were attributed to pollution, according to a new estimate published in The Lancet Planetary Health. Experts said it's not clear how the global pandemic will impact the analysis moving forward. Despite improvements made in water pollution in recent years, a rise in air and chemical pollution means the death rate has been relatively unchanged since 2015.

While much of the focus this midterm cycle has been on statewide races and the momentum behind Republicans amid dismal approval numbers for President Joe Biden, several Democratic House primaries could be emblematic of the direction of the party ahead of November. In these contentious primary races in North Carolina, Oregon and Pennsylvania, voters will choose between progressive and more moderate candidates. In many cases, moderate candidates have been the beneficiaries of millions of dollars in spending by controversial outside groups like Protect Our Future, a PAC funded by a billionaire cryptocurrency boss Sam Bankman-Fried, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel super PAC.
