Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski has had enough of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and other third-party non-governmental sustainable seafood certification programs, and on Wednesday she did something about it.
Murkowski introduced federal legislation that would prohibit any federal agencies from using third-party non-governmental certification schemes when considering or labeling any domestic catch as sustainable.
Murkowski's proposed law would prohibit any US federal agency from requiring or endorsing the use of any third party non-governmental organization’s label, criteria or other scheme to certify fish or seafood as sustainable.
