Abstract

The world’s only label to certify sustainable and well managed fisheries, the London-based Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), lacks credibility and will collapse unless drastically reformed, say confidential reports compiled for its funding organizations. A crisis meeting of the MSC board is being held on Monday and Tuesday to discuss reports that urge the former Conservative environment secretary John Gummer to stand down from the chairmanship. There are also demands for a widening of the membership and expertise of the management to regain the trust of conservation and environmental groups.
