The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international organization that certifies sustainable fishing practices. Their goal is to ensure seafood is harvested responsibly, minimizing environmental impact and maintaining healthy fish populations for the future. They evaluate fisheries based on criteria such as fish stock health, ecosystems, and effective management. Certified fisheries can use the MSC label on their products, helping consumers make environmentally conscious choices. The MSC’s work supports both marine conservation and the seafood industry by promoting sustainable practices that balance ecological health with economic needs.
