This “fishy” new invention is sure to get environmentalists’ seal of approval!

A small Florida brewery said it’s developed edible and biodegradable six-pack rings that can replace plastic ones, long assailed by nature lovers because the can holders inadvertently trap, injure and kill marine wildlife.

Saltwater Brewery said its new packaging is made of barley and wheat — so not only is it biodegradable, it’s edible for underwater creatures such as fish and sea turtles.

“We hope to influence the big guys and hopefully inspire them to get on board,” Saltwater president and founder Chris Gove said in a promotional video.

The brewery said costs of making these eco-friendly can rings will drop greatly if large beer producers do the same.
