Do you eat seafood? Do you care about labor conditions? NEW RESEARCH: Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the most popular #seafood ecolabel, is failing to identify #forcedlabor violations in the #fisheries it certifies despite claims to the contrary. 🧪🦑🌏🎣

Much confusion in the Arctic marketplace about lichen-fed versus lichen-finished reindeer ecolabeling

New #WSU-led research suggests harsher environmental conditions could encourage fisheries to adopt sustainable ecolabels, while poorly designed subsidies may undermine their credibility. news.wsu.edu/news/2026/08...

🐟 Is tuna stamped with the MSC Eco Label sustainable?

This study reveals significant gaps in accountability and transparency, with 74% of tuna catches coming from vessels whose labor conditions cannot be traced.

Tuna fishers often rely on artificial aggregating devices (FADs) that make fish relatively easy to catch, and concerns about high rates of bycatch, capture of juvenile tuna & pollution from FADs persist

Yet the top eco-label Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) approves their use, a new report claims:

New #WSU research finds changing environmental conditions may influence the practice & trustworthiness of sustainable ecolabeling in the fishing industry. Scientists found that rising temps & more intense storms encourage commercial fishers to embrace ecolabeling. news.cahnrs.wsu.edu/article/hars...

Compared to price premiums through ecolabeling, payment to resource owners for ecosystem services is likely to be more efficient as a conservation policy instrument because it targets the goals more directly.

These findings matter to fishers’ welfare because the MSC has reported that its program encompasses 59% of the world’s tuna, making its assurances about lower risks in certified tuna influential in the sector, with the potential to undermine criminal enforcement.

Japan's eco-labeling for farm produce launched in March 2024 shows slow uptake. More incentives & awareness needed. Can eco-friendly farming go mainstream? 🌱🇯🇵 #Japan #Sustainability #EcoLabeling #GreenAgriculture #ClimateAction #FarmToTable #Biodiversity www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03...
