MSC: Don't Put Eco Label On Dolphin Killing!
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is giving a “sustainable" and "eco"-friendly label to Mexican tuna fishing fleets that are killing dolphins.
Many environmental groups are calling foul. Stories are appearing in the fisheries media.
The Mexican tuna industry applied to the Marine Stewardship Council to gain MSC’s “sustainable fishery” seal to use on their products, indicating the tuna purse seine fishery is “sustainable.” But the fishery and MSC have glossed over the fact that the tuna fishery chases, nets, injures, and kills thousands of dolphins annually.
Tell the Marine Stewardship Council to abide by their mission and NOT to call dolphin-killing "sustainable" or "eco-friendly".
