   Obviously in my former position, I’ve had direct knowledge for the need of Marine Stewardship. Unfortunately, I’ve found that “hard” science is often politicized, and politically powerful “green” business often create fictions that do not solve the problem. Case in point is “Chilean Seabass”, which, if fresh, is overwhelmingly poached. The solution is “MSC Certified” which claims to harvest this fish responsibly. The problem is that other than increasing the price 400% to 500%, Chilean Seabass is still overfished! Looking forward to more on this topic.

     Those aren’t farmed Hink? Thanks for weighing in. Good to get perspective from someone who relies on the commercial fishing industry.
