MSC (Marine Stewardship Certification)

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification is a label given to sustainably managed fish and seafood. It ensures that fisheries operate in an environmentally responsible way, maintaining healthy fish populations and minimizing impacts on ocean ecosystems. To earn MSC certification, fisheries must meet rigorous standards through independent assessment, demonstrating they follow sustainable practices. For consumers, the MSC label provides confidence that the seafood they buy comes from well-managed sources, supporting ocean health and conservation efforts. It promotes sustainable fishing by encouraging responsible practices and helping protect marine biodiversity for future generations.
