SEGs “Conditional Pass”
SEG's 'conditional pass' for that French eel fishery: Issued March 2022, audit due Dec 2022... still pending in 2025. That's not sustainable fishing—that's sustainable “bureaucracy”! Congrats on outlasting the eels themselves. @eelgroup @ISEAL_Alliance @DefraGovUK

SEG is giving conditional passes to eel fisheries — meaning they haven’t fully met sustainability standards but can still call their product “responsibly sourced.”
This is a critically endangered species we’re talking about
