B.C. salmon named a Friend of the Sea

摘要

British Columbia's wild salmon fishery has earned Friend of the Sea certification from Friend of the Sea for having wild salmon products fished at a sustainable level. Friend of the Sea is a project for certification and promotion of seafood from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, already used by some of the main retail chains in the world, such as Carrefour and Co-op Italy, Eroski, and Manor. Producers of tuna, sardines, anchovies, farmed cod, salmon, trout, sea bream, mussels, octopus, and other seafood products have won Friend of the Sea certification. "Friend of the Sea certifies that the fishery meets FAO standards," says Grant Snell, general manager of the B.C. Salmon Marketing Council. FAO is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
