MSC — Marine Stewardship Council
MSC is an international nonprofit whose mission is to end overfishing and safeguard seafood supplies for future generations. Fisheries certified to the MSC Standard can carry the blue fish label, recognised by buyers and consumers as a mark of sustainably sourced seafood.
The programme now engages several hundred fisheries worldwide, driving thousands of on-the-water improvements to fishing practices — from reducing bycatch to protecting habitats and maintaining healthy fish stocks.
We help fisheries, hatcheries and seafood processors build the traceability systems and documentation that MSC's independent assessment process requires, from pre-assessment through to full certification.
