Abstract

Two global organizations recently formed a conservation partnership to create market incentives for sustainable fishing by establishing an independent Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the world’s largest private, non-profit conservation organization, seeks a new approach to ensure more effective management of marine fisheries. Anglo-Dutch Unilever, a major buyer of frozen fish and manufacturer of the world’s best-known frozen-fish products under such brands as Iglo, Birds Eye and Gorton’s, is interested in long-term fish stock sustainability to ensure a future for its successful fish business.
