In 1996 Jem Bendell helped me to develop the concept for the Marine Stewardship Council, by distilling the lessons from and modeling the organizational structure of the FSC, and applying that to the challenge of sustaining the world's fisheries. I co-founded it a year later with WWF and Unilever. A decade on, more than 300 seafood products bearing the MSC's eco-label are available in supermarkets around the world.
