Antarctic Toothfish - Potential For Unsustainable Consumption

Potential For Unsustainable Consumption

In 2010, Greenpeace International added the Antarctic toothfish to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries." Noting that this approach is at variance with the high score given the fishery when it was granted certification by the Marine Stewardship Council. http://www.msc.org/track-a-fishery/certified/southern-ocean/ross-sea-toothfish-longline

Famous quotes containing the words potential for, potential and/or consumption:

    While each child is born with his or her own distinct genetic potential for physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, the possibilities for reaching that potential remain tied to early life experiences and the parent-child relationship within the family.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    The real community of man ... is the community of those who seek the truth, of the potential knowers.
    Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    So it is with books, for the most part: they work no redemption on us. The bookseller might certainly know that his customers are in no respect better for the purchase and consumption of his wares. The volume is dear at a dollar, and after to reading to weariness the lettered backs, we leave the shop with a sigh, and learn, as I did without surprise of a surly bank director, that in bank parlors they estimate all stocks of this kind as rubbish.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
