Background - 16 June, 2012
Greenpeace is asking for urgent action on these species – if retailers and the public care about the state of our oceans, these are the species they should avoid buying.
Greenpeace Canada's Redlist has 23 seafood species, or species groups, from fisheries or fish farms which harm our oceans. The harm is to the species, other marine life, habitats or even entire ecosystems. Greenpeace urges Canada's retailers to stop selling all Redlist species unless they ensure the necessary changes are made to the fisheries and farms to guarantee sustainability and equitability.
Flip over the following cards for more information about the species and why they are on the Redlist.
