What is the MSC Fisheries Standard?

The Marine Stewardship Council is an independent, international non-profit organisation dedicated to certifying and promoting sustainable fishing practices. Established to address the problem of unsustainable fishing and to safeguard seafood supplies for the future, the MSC is committed to being the world’s leading certification program for sustainable wild-capture seafood.

The MSC works with scientists, fisheries, seafood producers, and brands to promote responsible fishing and set credible science-based standards for both sustainable fishing and supply chain traceability.

What Does the MSC Fisheries Standard Cover?

The MSC Fisheries Standard outlines the requirements for fisheries to be recognised as sustainable and well-managed. It applies to wild-capture marine and freshwater species, excluding fish farming (aquaculture), though some enhanced fisheries may qualify for assessment.

Seafood with the blue MSC label guarantees it comes from a certified sustainable fishery, and the Chain of Custody Standard ensures traceability to that source.

Independent third-party assessment bodies verify compliance, ensuring credibility and trust in the certification.
