Sponsored: Accountability Certified: Louisiana's Most Scrutinized Fishery Just Got Recertified Sustainable. Here's What the Science Actually Shows. The Gulf menhaden fishery has earned its first recertification from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) – the world’s leading certification body for sustainable fisheries – reaffirming its environmental performance and science-based management following a rigorous, multi-year independent audit. The MSC is the world’s leading certification body for sustainable fisheries, and the 2026 recertification provides third-party verification that the fishery continues to meet the highest standards for sustainability, ecosystem health, and effective management. MSC certifications are valid for five years, with annual surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance. A full recertification – including public comment and the opportunity for objections – is required every five years. The fishery was first certified in 2019. The MSC process is exhaustive, examining every dimension of the fishery’s performance: stock health, bycatch rates, environmental impacts, and regulatory oversight. Fisheries must meet strict scoring thresholds across all categories, with any deficiencies requiring time-bound corrective action. The Marine Stewardship Council is an independent, international nonprofit organization that sets the world’s leading standard for sustainable fishing. Its certification program is science-based, globally recognized, and relies on third-party auditors, transparent public input, and continuous monitoring to ensure fisheries meet the highest benchmarks for environmental performance and accountability. The Gulf...

You bet we need to be far more considerate of nature. #G30 nations do need to move economies away from growth/consumption/sprawl dependencies for prosperity to far more ecologically sound #sustainable economies. To ensure LT food/water/soil/nature/energy security.

It would look #nonlinear, for starters.

Existing feedbacks producing imbalances need new feedback mechanisms to bring order back into #sustainable levels.

Turbulence #vortices normally interact in cascading fashion, distributing ⬇️ optimally, but over-accumulation (obese wealth) breaks this cycle.
