UK supermarkets selling farmed fish linked to overfishing and social harm in Senegal, claims new investigation
A new joint investigation by DeSmog and The Guardian has alleged that several leading UK supermarkets, including Waitrose, Co-op, Lidl, Aldi and Asda, are selling seabass and seabream sourced from Turkish fish farms that are fuelling the overfishing of depleted Atlantic waters off Senegal’s coast, undercutting local jobs and food security.
