And let’s be crystal clear about the numbers: in 2021, only 219 out of about 520 licensed glass‑eel fishers in France were certified by SEG — that’s roughly ~42% of the fishery, not a large portion and certainly not the majority,

This isn’t conservation.
It’s greenwashed exploitation.
The eel trade survives on fake sustainability labels & self-serving PR.
Don’t buy it.
Reduce or stop European quotas

The contradiction:
To raise ESF money, eels must first be caught, killed & sold.
Run by industry. Framed as “a surplus for nature.”
But wild European eels are still Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List).

Imagine WWF saying:
“Save the tiger — buy more tiger skins.”
Absurd, right?
That’s @SustainableEel’s logic for endangered eels.
Consumption dressed up as conservation.

The eel industry invented a paradox:
Kill & sell endangered eels… to “save” them.
@SustainableEel — the NGO meant to protect eels — endorses this logic.
Conservation? Or cartel thinking?

The European eel is critically endangered
Yet SEG certifies:
✅ Farms in Morocco exporting to Asia
✅ Processors it once condemned
🚫 Never revoked licenses from known traffickers
This isn’t conservation — it’s complicity

Conservation means protecting species, not monetizing their extinction. SEG’s “eat to save” paradox is a mask — and it’s cracking. Time for regulators & CITES to act. #SEGExposed #CITES #SaveTheEel

And the Sustainable Eel Group (SEG) — an NGO claiming to protect eels — applauds it.
