When it comes to grocers’ public policies to source sustainable and socially responsible seafood, the devil is in the details. Grocers are passing the buck on the seafood they sell, and our oceans and the people behind the seafood are left to pay for it.

Press release warns @MSCecolabel to risk its reputation if requests from joint NGO letter are not addressed prior to approval of Standard 3.0.‘Zero tolerance’ for finning requires a watertight standard and quantitative evidence for compliance. There is too much at stake!
Make Stewardship Count retweeted
If @MSCecolabel are to retain credibility, they must listen to the requests of NGOs in latest press release. They need to guarantee the new Fisheries Standard is watertight in ensuring #compliance in global #fisheries to deliver on their #sustainability claims 🐟

#SSE22 - poll by MSC@ecolabel says less than 25% of consumers worry about ‘accidental‘ catch of 🐬🦈🐋🦭..We disagree! Fisheries must urgently minimise waste of threatened & protected species and all marine life!

Today at #SeafoodExpo @MSCecolabel - “8 years to Save our Ocean”- we agree it’s high noon! New Standard MUST remove certifiers “expert judgement” overriding proposed minimum coverage rates for “independent observation” & key definitions
