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.

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.
