Marine Stewardship Council

The MSC(Marine Stewardship Council) is an international non- governmental organisation promoting sustainability in fisheries through their certification and eco-labelling program.

When choosing seafood with the blue eco-label, consumers support fisheries that have been assessed to be sustainable through a rigorous assessment done by internationally recognised experts. Certified products are also fully traceable back to a sustainable fishery, ensuring that no illegal or unsustainable products enter the supply chain.

The three principles against which fisheries are assessed are:

1. The health of the fish stocks;

2. The environmental impacts of the fishery;

3. The effective management of the fishery.
