Thank-you Tina Joemat-Pettersson

Thank-you Tina Joemat-Pettersson and her cadres at DAFF (including Ms Mymoena Poggenpoel) for helping to collapse the South African lobster industry, particularly the nearshore artisinal fishery. Food Lovers Market has announced that it will no longer be selling the famed West Coast Rock Lobster in its stores.

One can assume that all the major retailers, leading hotels and restaurants will follow suit.

FOOD LOVER'S MARKET WILL NO LONGER STOCK WEST COAST ROCK LOBSTER AS OF APRIL

Food Lover's Market has announced that it will stop selling West Coast Rock Lobster in its stores. This is in response to the recent reports of the dire state of the West Coast Rock Lobster resource. This means that Food Lover's Market will no longer be purchasing Rock Lobster for resale and will sell out its existing stock - as of 15 April 2013 it will no longer stock the product.

This decision is in line with Food Lover's Market's Sustainable Seafood Policy and Commitments which were developed as a key component of its partnership with WWF-SASSI. Visit here for more information
