Why is Greenpeace targeting supermarkets? Isn’t it the fishing industry that needs to change?
Collectively, supermarkets sell a massive amount of seafood. By working selectively with suppliers, we can have a massive of amount of influence on how the products they sell are caught or produced. If large supermarkets stop selling the species that are in most dire straits, and start to demand only sustainably caught fish, the fishing industry and politicians will be forced to act to ensure that fishing practices are improved.
