In 2022, 56% of the 347,000 tonnes of fish landed in France came from sustainably exploited populations. On the other hand, 20% of landings come from overexploited fish populations and 2% from collapsed populations.
The situation is particularly bad in the Mediterranean Sea, where only 36.5% are sustainably fished. The North Sea and the east of the Channel show the best performances, with more than 63% of seafood volumes coming from populations in good condition.
