Marc Gunther: Shrimp Farms’ Tainted Legacy Is Target of Certification Drive

Wherever there’s an industry to be extorted the enviro-papists are sure to follow, ever ready to sell their blessing in the form of  indulgences  certification. Do developing nations and the world a favor – never purchase any greenie “certified” product. Squeeze the damned leeches and extortionists right out of the marketplace.

Miserable parasites are sucking the blood out the impoverished struggling to develop and ripping you off in the process. Their little scams reach across seas and continents taking a cut from resource harvesting, whether it be wood that’s been rained on, fish, coffee, chocolate, whatever, all the way to indigenous art, they’re there to skim a piece of the action.

Bring on the tumbrils!

As shrimp aquaculture has boomed globally to keep pace with surging demand, the environmental toll on mangroves and other coastal ecosystems has been severe. Now, conservation groups and some shrimp farmers are creating a certification scheme designed to clean up the industry and reward sustainable producers.
