MARINE STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (MSC)
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international non-profit organization that sets globally recognized, science-based standards for sustainable fishing and seafood traceability. The MSC ecolabel and certification program recognizes and rewards sustainable fishing practices and is helping create a more sustainable seafood market. It is the only wild-capture fisheries certification and ecolabelling program that meets best practice requirements set by both the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) and ISEAL Alliance, the global membership association for sustainability standards.
MSC STANDARDS
The MSC works with fisheries, scientists, seafood companies, conservation groups and the public to encourage environmentally friendly seafood choices. The certified fisheries are judged on the three standards the MSC provides.
