The Canadian Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Society, which represents most processors and exporters of wild salmon, decided to back out of the Marine Stewardship Council certification due to concerns that it would inevitably fail a routine audit.
The certification is given to seafood that can be harvested sustainably and meet more than 20 conditions. Without the certification, fisheries will no longer be able to sell wild salmon as an eco-certified product – an attractive designation that fetches more money on the market.“It took us ten years to get certified,” she told CTV News.
“I mean, we will still be able to sell what we produce … but we won't be able to sell it to customers that pay the most and value sustainability.” The decision voluntarily suspends the eco-certification for several types of salmon, including chum, pink and sockeye. Conservationists and industry insiders accuse Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans of failing to properly monitor salmon stocks.
Government disgrace
