NOTHING FISHY ABOUT MARINE CAMPAIGNER

This rapidly expanding charity aims to conserve marine fisheries by lobbying consumers, suppliers and fishermen, mainly by giving its seal of approval to sustainably-fished seafood. In 2007-08, the number of MSC-labelled products more than doubled to 1,421, and an agreement was reached with the Netherlands to stock only fish caught in MSC-certified fisheries from 2011. The annual report is refreshingly transparent, ticking almost all of our boxes.

QUALITY OF REPORTING What is this?	79 %
How much info does the charity want to share? This score, taken from our search for 43 key points in the annual report, gives the answer. Top mark is 100%. Anything over 70% is a good effort.
SIZE OF CHARITY... What is this?	Medium
We only profile the largest charities in England & Wales, and our sizes are relative to the largest and smallest among them. So where we describe a charity as 'Small', it is still much larger than the national average.
HIGHEST SALARY What is this?	£100k to £149k
Taken from the vague bandings given in annual reports; note that 'Under £60k' could be £9k or £59k. Nonetheless the number of bars should roughly correlate with the 'Size of charity' bars.
ETHICAL INVESTMENT POLICY What is this?	Unknown
We asked the charity if it has an ethical investment policy. If yes, it gets an angel. Those with no policy but which don't invest in tobacco/arms get a halo. Those without investments, or who didn't respond, appear neutral. Those with stakes in arms/tobacco get a fallen angel.

But don't just take our word for it...
