Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) sustainable fishing standard
Enable the positive impact of sustainable fishing
Demonstrate your commitment to sustainable aquaculture with MSC certification
Certification to MSC Sustainable Fishing Standards is comprehensive and entails both a pre-assessment and full assessment, as well as ongoing annual surveillance audits of certified fisheries. The standard reflects the most up-to-date understanding of internationally accepted fisheries science and management.
Assessments cover three core principles which fisheries must meet – sustainable fish stocks, minimising environmental impact and effective fisheries management.
