A third US retailer has announced it will not stock seafood from Antartica's Ross Sea for environmental reasons, reports Greenpeace.
Harris Teeter joins US supermarket chains Safeway and Wegmans by taking the 'Ross Sea Pledge' which means it will not buy or sell seafood from that area. It is also calling for the entire Ross Sea to be protected.
"We have pledged not to buy or sell any seafood harvested from the Ross Sea," the company states on its website.
"By taking the "Ross Sea Pledge," we encourage the nations who are members of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources to designate the entire Ross Sea as an MPA [Marine Protected Area]," it continues.
