Sardine shortage fuelled by climate change and overfishing hits French markets
https://www.africanews.com/2025/09/18/sardine-shortage-hits-french-markets//The shortage, experts say, comes down to overfishing and climate change, with warming waters reducing plankton and shrinking sardine populations. Much of the supply comes from Morocco, now struggling to keep up with demand.

Much of the supply comes from Morocco, which is now struggling to keep up with demand.
