MSC on the MENU: Promoting and rewarding sustainable fishing

An event for fishermen, suppliers and restaurateurs

This event offers a great new opportunity to understand where your seafood comes from, and how the Marine Stewardship Council is working to get local, sustainable seafood onto the menus of restaurants in the UK.

The MSC is widely recognised as the ‘gold standard’ for seafood sustainability, and has a proven track record for rewarding fisheries that are working sustainably. As demand for sustainable seafood increases, this event will bring together restaurateurs, fisheries, suppliers and processors to explore MSC certification as a route to meeting this demand.

Please find details of the full agenda below.

We would be delighted if you would attend. Entrance is free, but to allow us to manage space and catering please RSVP to Ruth.westcott@msc.org.

To be held on: Wednesday 30th June from 2:30pm to 6:30pm, The Metropole Hotel, Brighton

The Cove Movie - 2010 Oscar winner for best documentary

Under cover of night the fishermen of Taiji, driven by a multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry and an underhanded market for mercury-tainted dolphin meat, engage in an unseen hunt. The nature of what they do is so chilling -- and the consequences are so dangerous to human health -- they will go to great lengths to halt anyone from seeing it.
