The Boston Globe recently investigated the widespread practice of fish mislabeling, disguising one species as another, usually to increase profit.  As you may recall, Jim successfully passed into law his first term legislation creating a special Massachusetts seafood commission comprised of industry leaders -- ranging from fishermen and retailers and restaurants -- to develop a unique brand of locally harvested Massachusetts Seafood.  In a related matter, Jim filed and passed an amendment to legislation that requires local schools to give priority to family farms and Massachusetts fresh seafood on menus at schools.  Whether a state marketing program could stabilize the declining state of the region’s commercial fishing industry is a main goal for now, as the Seafood Commission is now in the process of getting up and running.  Addressing this widespread abuse of mislabeling will also be explored.
