Questioning MSC
September 27, 2011
The certification of the South African offshore hake fishery as sustainable by MSC in 2010 and the passing of the first surveillance audit by Moody in 2011 is misleading. Consumers should not be fooled by the MSC eco-label applied to products from this fishery. These products are not from a sustainably managed fishery. South African offshore hake remains severely depleted, there is no sign of significant recovery, and the current management procedure appears to be flawed and needs to be replaced by one that may be more effective.
A solid analysis. More here.
