The study’s results suggest that conservation strategies for beluga sturgeon should focus on reducing the overfishing of adults rather than heavily relying upon hatchery supplementation.

A recent study urges marketers to drop buzzwords — like environmental, green and sustainability — and focus on tangible benefits. That’s a reasonable stopgap, but someone must take the initiative to wipe out the confusion about green terms.
