Tesco are selling tuna sourced from fishing boats that use environmentally destructive fishing methods that kill endangered sharks, turtles, cetaceans, baby yellowfin and cause untold amounts of plastic pollution in the ocean.

Please sign this petition calling on them to STOP this unsustainable practice.

BACKGROUND: Tesco are selling what they say is 'responsibly sourced' tuna under their own brand. But to be honest, we're not convinced.

What's worse however, is Tesco still think it's OK for them to sell other brands of dirty tuna such as Princes that are definitely NOT 'responsibly sourced'.

How can this irresponsible behaviour by Tesco ever be called sustainable?

Tuna lovers: please stop shopping at Tesco until they pull Princes, as well as the other dirty brand John West, off their shelves, or until Princes and John West can publicly commit to stop sourcing tuna from overfishing boats that use environmentally destructive and toxic Fish Aggregating Devices, or FADs. 

Whilst we acknowledge that Princes and John West claim to source responsibly, this is pure greenwash because they refuse to stop sourcing from overfishing boats that use purse seine nets associated with FADs which in turn are decimating silky shark, Olive Ridley turtle, cetacean and juvenile yellowfin populations in the Indian Ocean - which is where most UK supermarket tuna comes from.

These nightmarish FADs not only indiscriminately kill large numbers of endangered and threatened species, but they are also made of plastic and should be banned because they often break apart, or are deliberately abandoned at sea, washing insane amounts of toxic plastic onto fragile marine environments such pristine coral reefs and the seabed – or it ends up right back in the food chain poisoning our fish, and ultimately us and our children.

LET'S ALL BOYCOTT TESCO UNTIL THEY STOP SELLING ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE PRINCES AND JOHN WEST TUNA!
