submitted a formal objection to the MSC’s certification of the industry, citing, among others, its concerns about the industry’s impact on endangered sharks and rays and insufficient measures to reduce significant risks to these species.
In South Africa, a paper found how demersal trawl fisheries are considered one of the biggest threats to deep-water sharks and rays in local waters because they are caught as bycatch and suffer high mortality, at about 1 500 tonnes a year. Olbers says species are being “lumped together. Without knowing exactly what species are being caught – the different rays and the different skates – we can’t manage them properly and can’t do proper stock assessments”.
In 2004, the South African hake fishery became the first hake fishery in the world, and the second groundfish fishery, to meet the MSC standard.
