From the sea to your plate: how to choose more sustainable salmon
The Guardian
Salmon remains one of the most popular seafoods globally. However, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of farming salmon, while environmental groups have claimed that 'responsibly sourced' labelling on seafood products may be misleading – making it hard for consumers to know what exactly they are purchasing.

Organization & Environment
Voluntary standards certifying environmental qualities of labeled products have proliferated across sectors and countries. Effectuating these standards requires the collaboration among and between creators (typically firms and non-governmental organizations) and adopters (firms across a particular supply chain). However, the need to collaborate does not rule out the presence of controversy. Drawing on the case of the Marine Stewardship Council, a leading seafood standard to conserve the world’s threatened marine fauna, we analyze how this controversy, from economic and sociologic vantage points, impacts a sustainability transition. In essence, interest divergence drives controversy over standard design, which spurs controversy over standard effectiveness and prompts the proliferation of competing standards. Controversy is magnified by the opacity or non-transparency of the fields which such standards seek to govern. We conclude that, while interest divergence and field opacity entail inherent controversy over voluntary environmental standards, the impact of this controversy on sustainability transitions is typically predominantly positive.

Securing the Livelihoods and Nutritional Needs of Fish-Dependent Communities
Rockefeller Foundation
Starting in June 2012, the Rockefeller Foundation began investigating the pressing problem of the declining health of the oceans due to climate change, overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction, and the effects of this decline on poor and vulnerable people who depend on marine ecosystems for food and livelihoods. The goal was to better understand the nature of the problem and the potential impact of interventions in the fields of fisheries, aquaculture, poverty, and food security.

This report exposes how the expansion of the Norwegian salmon farming industry has come at the expense of communities and fish populations in the Global South. While salmon producers tout their sustainability credentials, the industry’s inefficient and wasteful use of finite natural resources is driving the loss of livelihoods and exacerbating malnutrition in nations including The Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. We argue that the Norwegian salmon industry is not so much leading a ‘blue revolution’ as establishing a ‘blue empire’.

Challenging the Aquaculture Industry on Sustainability
Greenpeace
Against a continuing background of diminishing and over–exploited marine resources, aquaculture has been widely held up as a panacea to the problem of providing a growing world population with ever-increasing amounts of fish for consumption. With the expansion of the industry, however, the tendency has been for methods of production to intensify, particularly in the production of carnivorous species. This has resulted in many serious impacts on the environment and human rights abuses. This report examines some of the serious environmental and social impacts that have resulted from the development and practice of aquaculture and which are reflected across the global industry.
