Bristol Bay and Wal-Mart

Interesting developments on the Bristol Bay front where Wal-Mart has announced it intends to stock wild Bristol Bay salmon on its shelves.Wal-Mart has made a commitment that by 2011 all of its wild-caught fresh and frozen fish for the North American market will be sourced from fisheries that meet the Marine Stewardship Council environmental standard for sustainable and well-managed fisheries.With commercial interests lining up on both sides of the issue it will be interesting to see the impact on the Pebble Mine development decision making process.... and does this mean I have to shop at Wal-Mart now?First seen on Mid-Current.
