MSC Certification
What is the MSC?
The Marine Stewardship Council is an international non-profit organization, who recognise and reward efforts to protect oceans and safeguard seafood supplies for the future.
The MSC Fisheries Standard is used to assess if a fishery is well-managed and sustainable.
The Standard reflects the most up-to-date understanding of internationally accepted fisheries science and management.

How is it used?
When a fishery is successfully certified to the Fisheries Standard, its certified catch can be sold with the blue MSC label.
Fisheries are assessed by accredited independent certifiers called Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) – also called certification bodies.
