Scale back on hake and coley, seafood charity tells shoppers

·The Guardian·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

The Marine Conservation Society is advising shoppers to reduce their consumption of hake and coley, two types of fish previously considered more sustainable alternatives to cod. This change is due to declining fish stocks and increased fishing pressure, which have led to lower sustainability ratings for these fish. The impact is significant for the seafood industry, as consumers and businesses rely on the Marine Conservation Society's Good Fish Guide to make informed choices about sustainable seafood.
