UK Cod Stocks Hit Critical Low, MCS Urges Zero Catches

Published 5 days, 23 hours ago
Description

The Marine Conservation Society warns against UK-caught cod, giving it their worst rating in the Good Fish Guide due to critically low stocks. Overfishing and warmer seas have led to a decline since 2015. The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea aims for zero commercial catches by 2026. Fishers are seeing fewer cod, and the MCS urges the UK government to strengthen management. Waitrose removes mackerel from shelves due to sustainability concerns. The MCS advises alternatives like Icelandic cod, European hake, or North Sea haddock to support long-term fisheries.
