Fish labelling scheme
Fish caught off the Dorset coast is to be labelled as such by the county's biggest seafood wholesaler to boost customer confidence
Fish labelling campaign launched to protect marine life
A campaign has been launched in Dorset to encourage us to buy seafood from fishermen who care about the environment and want to protect fish stocks.
Restaurants and shoppers are being urged to chose species that aren't threatened from over-fishing, or caught using methods that damage the marine habitat. Our Environment Correspondent Duncan Sleightholme reports.
