Nearly 40 Alaska fishermen protested Wednesday outside an Anchorage Walmart store, over the retailer's insistence on sourcing wild salmon certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) eco-label program.
Holding signs saying "Buy American? Start with Alaska Salmon" and "Walmart should be WILD about sustainable ALASKA SALMON," the protesters continued a protest that started earlier this year against Walmart's buying policy.
The protest came a day before Alaska state and seafood industry officials were to meet with executives of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., at the company's headquarters.
