MCS Supermarket Survey 2009
In 2009 MCS looked into the sustainability of seafood available in the UK’s major supermarkets. Supermarkets sell nearly nine tenths of all seafood in the UK and have a key role to play in helping fisheries become more sustainable.
MCS's Supermarket Survey is designed to show who is leading the way in tackling overfishing. We scored the supermarkets in eight different categories including the seafood they sell, how it is labelled and how they are working with fishermen and fish-farmers. You can find out more about how we conducted the survey here.
