Europeans urged to eat less fish

The conservation group WWF is calling on European consumers
to think twice before they eat fish.

A WWF report says much of the fish sold in Europe is the product
of illegal, destructive or wasteful fishing.

The report warns that continuing to buy it will bring many fish
stocks to the brink of extinction.

The WWF says consumers should only be buying fish with a Marine
Stewardship Council label, which certifies that the fish bearing
it has come from a sustainable and well-managed fishery.

3. The BBC changed the headline.

to:

"'Care needed' in fish purchases".


- and the first line was changed to:

"The conservation group WWF is calling on European consumers to make careful choices in the fish they buy and eat".



(The rest of it seems to be the same).
