MCS, fishing for our future...
88% of European fish stocks are overfished!
....because we are taking fish out of the sea faster than they can be replenished. It is not just how many fish we are catching, but how we catch them...
Some fishing methods take far more fish than we use – discarding alarming quantities of unwanted, young, dead fish back into the sea, and some fishing activities can seriously damage our fragile seabed habitats, killing other sea life such as dolphins, seals and birds in the process.
MCS is working with all aspects of the fisheries and aquaculture industries to try and find solutions to these problems.
You can help. Use our new Supermarket survey to find out how well your local supermarket does on sustainable seafood, and download the Pocket Good Fish Guide to help advise you on choices when you next shop.

Is fish farming the answer to the growing world food gap?
Nearly half of all our seafood is now farmed, but sadly farming the most popular fish uses more fish as food for the fish farming process than it actually creates for our consumption.
