B.C. environmental groups lose bid to stop Alaskan fisherys sustainable certification 
By Chuck Chiang US Source: cbc news 10/31/2024

A coalition of Canadian environmental groups has lost its latest bid to prevent Alaska's salmon fishery from being labelled as sustainable by an international certification body.

The groups — including the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and Watershed Watch Salmon Society — say an adjudicator has upheld the Marine Stewardship Council's decision to certify the Alaskan fishery despite what they call "unsustainable" fishing practices that intercept British Columbia's migrating salmon.
 

Alaska's Department of Fish and Game says it is pleased that the adjudicator "affirmed the sustainability of Alaska's fishing practices" based on "sound science," adding that the salmon fishery in question "has the most robust and comprehensive" assessment program on the Pacific seaboard.
