SEGs Double Standard
1/7
SEG’s chair Andrew Kerr told BBC News the UK eel fishery “must change,” claiming the future is conservation fishing and that we must “rebuild the human relationship with the eel.” Sounds noble, until you look at what SEG actually does, not what it says.

Andrew Kerr claims the UK eel fishery should be “conservation-only.”
But SEG operates in Belgium certifying European eel farms, processing plants all for consumption.
Conservation in the UK.
Consumption in Europe.
How is that not a massive contradiction?
