The Marine Stewardship Council hid when the industry needed a bodyguard

Well, the Netflix documentary "Seaspiracy" debuted Tuesday and its tone and message were exactly what the industry expected.

On a LinkedIn post yesterday, I described the film as a disjointed mishmash of old, oversimplified and, in many cases, debunked environmental half-truths all funneling to the overall message: don’t eat fish, go vegan.

But in my LinkedIn post, I also criticized the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for hiding from Ali Tabrizi, the film’s director, and refusing to grant him an interview.
