If you go down in the deep today, you might get a big surprise. At Hallowe’en the usual ghosts, ghouls and monsters are all-too-familiar. But if you want a real fright, you really need to see what’s lurking in the sea.

Tuna has finally gone mainstream, following the outcry in the media that John West* has broken its sustainability and traceability promises. 

We’ve reached millions of people, from This Morning with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show, to The Times front page and countless other newspapers, everyone is outraged by the embarrassing progress John West has made meeting its sustainability promise to customers. 

John West’s claims that its customers can see “exactly where their fish was caught” is deeply misleading - according to a crowdsourced Greenpeace investigation. 

The investigation found tuna cans with “100% traceable” label can’t be traced as John West claims and that the company has been failing to publicise the fact that some of its tuna comes from Thailand- a country notorious for human rights abuses in the fishing industry. 

Madrid is landlocked, so it wouldn’t be the first place you would expect to find fishers! However, this weekend Madrid was met with the presence of more than 50 low-impact fishermen who came from Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK. The meeting was a notable achievement on the cusp of LIFE’s (Low Impact Fishers of Europe) first anniversary.
