SeaChoice, January 20 2022.
This piece outlines how Make Stewardship Count Came to be after years of frustrating engagement in MSC assessments, and their 2017 report What’s behind the label?, which showed that the MSC was no longer living up to its claims and purpose. It follows our work engaging in the MSC FSR process, like our webinar in September and our recent round of scorecards.
Finally, it touches on this last phase of the FSR and the urgency of the changes needed.
“The decisions made by the MSC now will impact how global best practices in fisheries are defined for years to come and how much impact seafood retailers, buyers, and consumers can make on fishing practices by choosing to buy seafood with its ecolabel.
We need MSC to raise the bar on what sustainable fishing really looks like and become a leader again for change on the water.”
