Fit for the future? How the MSC can stay the course. Through the lens of UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14), the Seafood Futures Forum discussed how to balance the need to live within our oceans’ ecological limits, while ensuring seafood supplies are safeguarded for this and future generations. The discussion was joined by Ally Dingwall from Sainbury's, Amanda Nickson, Pew, Annelie Selander, NOMAD foods, Tor Bjørklund Larsen, Norwegian Fisheries Association, Nicolas Guixhoux and Rupert Howes from the Marine Stewardship Council. The forum also touched on topics of overfishing, IUU, transparency and continuous improvement. The discussion was moderated by Stephen Hall from Avalerion Capital.
