Description: We've all seen the "certified sustainable" labels on fish products, but do how much do they actually mean? Meet the F/V Joseph Roty II, a supertrawler, currently emptying the Bay of Biscay. The owners of this vessel proudly display their MSC sustainable certifications on their website despite their flagship products not being certified... ---- Sea Shepherd is an international, non-profit marine conservation organization that engages in direct action campaigns to defend wildlife, and conserve and protect the world’s oceans from illegal exploitation and environmental destruction.
