If the marine fishing industry is to survive into the future,
innovative approaches are necessary. Recognising that market
incentives have the potential to improve fisheries management, the
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been established to harness
these incentives. The work of the MSC translates through from
sustainable fishery management certification, to labelling of fish
and sea food products, allowing consumers to use their choice and
buying power to select eco-labelled products from MSC certified
fisheries.
This exciting new book covers all aspects of the new
eco-labelling initiative developed under the sponsorship of the
MSC. Contents include details of the MSC and its certification
framework and implementation, dispute resolution, chain-of-custody
assessment and community fisheries certification. Also included are
important case studies of the MSC certified fisheries of
Australia’s western rock lobster, Alaska salmon, Thames
herring and New Zealand hoki.
Eco-Labelling in Fisheries is an essential purchase for
all those involved in marine fisheries management throughout the
world. Professionals and students in fisheries science, marine
biology, ecology, conservation and environmental biology will find
this book to be extremely valuable. Libraries in all universities
and research establishments where these subjects are studied and
taught should have multiple copies of this book on their
shelves.
