Carting Away the Oceans: April 2010

This report from Greenpeace ranks and rates 20 supermarket chains on their sustainability practices for purchasing seafood and communicating about sustainable seafood to shoppers.

Greenpeace says about the latest report:

In the fourth edition of Greenpeace’s seafood sustainability scorecard, Carting Away the Oceans, we are noticing a trend emerging among the largest US seafood retailers. It’s becoming clear that several supermarkets—such as Wegmans, Target, and Whole Foods—are deeply invested in making better decisions and providing safer, more sustainable seafood options for their customers. At the same time, there are many supermarkets that haven’t taken any responsibility for the seafood they sell, or for the damage they are doing to our oceans—such as H.E.B., Meijer, Costco, SUPERVALU, Publix, and Winn Dixie.
