Yup, after a lot of campaigning, many thousands of emails and some mysterious stickers, John West have finally committed to change from FADs (destructive Fish Aggregating Devices) to pole-and-line. With JW the last company to act, this means everyone on January's fish retailer league table has now pledged to make the change.

How important is this? Well, it's huge - JW produce a third of all tuna tins in the UK, and the UK now has the world's most sustainable tuna market in the world. So, HUGE thanks to everyone who helped - more info here. *BIG GRIN*
