Removing POV about Greenpeace edit
I am removing the below paragraph per WP:NPOV. The middle sentence is the most blatant and is unsourced. The sentence after that is sourced to a Greenpeace website, which is a primary source. The final sentence is sourced to an industry news website, which could potentially be okay, but the link in question is nothing but a reprint of a letter from NFI itself, again a primary source. --Allen (talk) 01:33, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Greenpeace is a large multi-national environmental NGO. Among the many issues Greenpeace takes a stance on, it campaigns for sustainable seafood and overall ocean conservation. The focal point of this campaign is a yearly survey called “Carting Away the Oceans” in which they grade retailers, such as Wal-Mart and Whole Foods, on the sustainability of the seafood sold in their stores. The “report card” that is issued as a result of the survey has the potential to impact retailers’ business as it purports an arbitrary rating system as fact. The survey is entirely voluntary and retailers have seen others in their industry become the target of further campaigning whether or not they have participated in the survey until they cave to Greenpeace’s demands.[1] The survey is used more as a method of drawing media attention to retailers’ seafood products rather than accurately assessing the sustainability of the products.[2]

Removed more POV material edit
I removed a bunch more material piecemeal; see edit history for details. Most of it was blatantly POV; some of it was potentially okay but sourced to NFI itself. There's not a lot of decent material left in this stub. I'd nominate it for deletion, but this really does seem to be a significant industry group so I'll leave it for now. --Allen (talk) 01:55, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
