Does your supermarket sell unsustainable seafood?

These data were compiled through visits to close to a hundred supermarkets by volunteers, members and friends of Greenpeace. The retailers were then invited to confirm or correct the information. Note that some stores offer a very limited range of fish and seafood, which could explain the limited numbers of fish on the Redlist that are sold.
