Matt Watson on the Marine Stewardship Council & the sustainability of seafood

Matt Watson is Senior Fisheries Program Manager, Asia Pacific for the Marine Stewardship Council - an international non-profit on a mission to end overfishing, setting standards for sustainable fishing. This is a compelling, raw, but respectfully transparent chat - covering a range of topics including how MSC defines "sustainable seafood" and augments better practice in fisheries - along with a discussion on the key challenges, scientific uncertainties, krill fishing in Antarctica, and future of the seafood industry.
