The Marine Stewardship Council Principles

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Principles ensure sustainable fishing practices. They focus on three main areas: maintaining fish populations at healthy levels, minimizing environmental impact by protecting habitats and other marine life, and effectively managing fisheries through good governance and science-based decisions. This way, MSC-certified fish are caught in a way that supports the long-term health of oceans and fisheries. Essentially, these principles promote responsible fishing that balances current needs with the future of marine ecosystems.
