Issue:

Studies have proved that by the middle of this century, fishermen will have almost nothing left to catch. Middle class people will no longer be able to afford seafood. It's going to be too rare and too expensive.

Belief:

Proper fishing techniques can help maintain balance in marine life, and make seafood affordable so everyone from rich to poor can enjoy that mouth watering taste. Proper waste disposal of waste/chemicals from large companies is also a factor. We don't want the next generation to go without seafood.

The Marine Stewardship Council is an independent, global, non-profit organization which was set up to find a solution to the problem of overfishing.
