The vegan diet is a diet that does not include any animal products. So, you don't eat meat and fish, but also no products produced by animals, such as honey, eggs and dairy products. Read more about the vegan diet here.
The Seagan diet is not completely vegan as it does include fish and seafood.
The idea of consuming fish and seafood in the Seagan diet is that it is difficult to avoid deficiencies in a vegan diet. This includes deficiencies in vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids. According to the inventors of this diet, this can be solved by eating fish and seafood in addition to the vegan diet.
Important aspects of the Seagan diet are sustainability and awareness about the environment. It is emphasised that consuming too much fish and seafood is bad, as fishing has a negative impact on the environment. Hence, when buying these products, sustainably sourced fish and seafood should be picked.

Examples of diets that are also considered sustainable are PureHealth and the Nordic diet.
