In June 2008, Greenpeace issued a new report "Out of Stock: Supermarkets and the Future of Seafood," that documents the severe threat to the sustainability of seafood. In the report, Greenpeace urges Canadian supermarkets to shoulder their share of the responsibility for the collapse of fish and seafood stocks by not selling the most threatened species, all of which are on a Greenpeace Redlist. In total, 15 species groups are flagged on the Redlist as those that should not be bought or sold.
Loblaws, Sobey's, Metro, Wal-Mart, Costco, Safeway, Overwaitea, and Federated Cooperatives are all targeted by Greenpeace in this 56-page report launched simultaneously with a new logo. The Greenpeace report updates the state of fish and seafood stocks and shows an alarming decline, gives the results on an investigation into the seafood purchasing practices of Canada's leading retail chains and presents the Redlist of seafood that should not be bought or sold.
