Shark and Marine Conservation   Supermarket campaign Restaurant campaign Shark sighting map Species fact sheets     Across the country, thousands of menus continue to include fish species that are widely regarded as threatened. Among these are swordfish, marlin, shark, monkfish, skate (rays) and warm water prawns (king and tiger). Each is named as a species that either can no longer tolerate current levels of fishing without stocks becoming close to collapse or involves a fishing method deemed indiscriminate or destructive. While Bite-Back is not alone in its recommendation that consumers should avoid eating these fish it is the first marine conservation organisation that aims to empower individuals with the tools and support to inspire retailers to rethink the fish they sell.
