The
sustainability report released says that 51 percent of their seafood items now meet
their criteria, which are developed by Fish Wise based on Monterey Bay’s
rankings.
Safeway seem to be supporting Greenpeace on issues relating about Bering Sea Canyons highlighting their opposition to NOAA and the US scientific process for fishery management.
Safeway seem, therefore, committed to a non-scientific approach to fisheries management as many other retailers have backed away from such campaigns. Greenpeace’s use of them for rankings and that would appear to be more important than supporting US government scientists on fishery management issues.
