Abstract
⺠Over the past decade, there have been 19 formal objections to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) fisheries certifications. ⺠Adjudicators have upheld only one objection - the objection to the certification of Faroese Northeast Atlantic mackerel. ⺠12% of MSC fisheries have received formal objections; by weight, these fisheries represent 35% of MSC-certified seafood. ⺠Loopholes and loose wording in MSC standards allow for controversial fisheries to be certified.
