Learn more about seafood and how destructive fishing practices are taking their toll on the health of the oceans.
Green Fish
Getting seafood from a sustainable fishery can be a complicated process. We need to consider the direct impacts on the marine environment as well as the wider environment (with particular regard to global warming) and on local communities.
Red Fish
There are some fish that we all should just say NO to eating. They are in serious trouble of total collapse. We should give them a break, leave them alone and let them recover.
Seafood
Destructive fishing practices and overfishing are among the most significant threats facing our oceans today. Fish caught by damaging methods make their way into our supermarkets and oceans pay the price.
Greenpeace is calling on U.S. supermarkets to help our oceans by making the seafood market sustainable.
Bycatch When a fishing net or hook is tossed into the ocean ? the catch often contains much more than the fishermen intended. Collectively, all marine life unintentionally caught while fishing for other species is called bycatch. Sadly, many ocean critters like sea turtles and dolphins are helpless victims of bycatch along with corals, sponges, and a variety of other marine plants and animals.
Pirate Fishing Armed and masked, scouring the oceans, stealing food from hungry families ? modern day pirates are a far cry from the glamor of Hollywood movies. But they are a multi billion-dollar reality for many communities that can least afford to be robbed.Pirate fishing ? known by its less colorful name: illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing ? is the scourge of the oceans. It leaves communities without much needed food and income and the marine environment smashed and empty. In 2001 Greenpeace estimated there were at least 1,300 industrial scale pirate fishing ships at sea.
