Several huge American fast food/restaurant chains, including McDonald’s, seem to be jumping on the train to save the world’s dwindling fish stocks.
“We know that if we go raping and pillaging it today, there’s nothing left for tomorrow,” Ken Conrad, the owner of the chain of 10 Libby Hill seafood restaurants in North Carolina and Virginia and chairman of the National Fisheries Institute, a seafood-industry trade group, told the Wall Street Journal.
“We know where weaknesses are and a tremendous amount is being done to address those challenges”, affirms Gavin Gibbons, a media spokesman for the institute. “The idea that vast fisheries broadly are headed to wholesale collapse contains a healthy dose of hyperbole and doesn’t recognize much of the work being done.”
