Victory! Sweden (mostly) free from Baltic cod
Posted by jossc on 9 March 2007.
More good news for our oceans campaign. After successfully targeting UK supermarket chains like ASDA and Morrison's over their failure to ensure that the fish they sell comes from sustainable sources, we passed on the tip to other Greenpeace national offices to see if they could get similar results. Now we've had word from Sweden that, after a year's lobbying and pressure, supermarkets across the country will no longer stock frozen cod sourced from the Baltic Sea. This is a crucial development as baltic cod stocks have collaped in recent years, and much of the catch is illegally fished.
