Cuttlefish—brilliant, curious creatures of the sea—are vanishing fast. Once ignored, they’re now labelled “black gold” by seafood buyers. This sudden boom in popularity is causing overfishing at an alarming rate, yet there are zero UK regulations or catch limits in place.
The Marine Conservation Society warns: no UK cuttlefish fishery is sustainable. Trawled cuttlefish gets a red “avoid completely” rating, and even the “best” pot-caught versions are still rated amber. The ecosystem is under serious threat.
With demand surging in restaurants and on supermarket shelves, the time to act is now. We’ve seen this story before—species collapse after profits outpace caution. Let’s not repeat the same mistakes.
Sign the petition now to ban cuttlefish sales in UK shops and restaurants. We must protect our oceans and the life within them before it’s too late. Sign now—before the damage becomes irreversible.
