From Seafood Watch:
“Seafood Watch assesses the sustainability of fisheries and fish farms by compiling relevant science-based information and evaluating that information against our standards. We periodically revise our standards to ensure we take into account developments in the scientific understanding of the impacts of fisheries and aquaculture operations, as well as in our understanding of what producers and managers can do to mitigate those impacts.
This revision cycle is currently underway and we are now collecting public comments on our existing Standard for Fisheries and Standard for Aquaculture, a new standard for Salmonid Fisheries, and an additional criterion to assess the greenhouse gas emissions of fisheries and aquaculture operations. The first public comment period will close December 27, 2014.
We greatly value your input into how we can better meet our objectives in assessing wild-capture fisheries and aquaculture operations. We encourage you to view background information on the revision process and submit comments by visiting our website at http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/standards-revision.”
