'Morally repugnant': Alaska fisheries official rips into Marine Stewardship Council for continuing to certify Russian fish

A letter from the top state fisheries official said the certification group's approval of salmon, pollock and crab fisheries in Russia provides 'indirect support for the Putin regime.'

Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lange harshly condemned fisheries certification group the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for continuing to allow Russian pollock, salmon, crab and other species to carry the eco-label, a move he said provided 'indirect support' to Vladimir Putin.
