Sustainable fishing and the MSC
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a non-profit organisation. The MSC was set up to address the problem of unsustainable fishing.
“We acknowledge and reward efforts made to protect the oceans and promote a continued supply of fishing products for the future.”

Measuring sustainability
The sustainability of fisheries can be assessed regardless of size, geographical area or method. Our standard regarding the rules of sustainable fisheries is a means of measuring this sustainability. When fishing is assessed independently against this standard, three main principles are considered:
1
The health of the fish population
Have enough fish been left in the ocean? Fishing must be at a level that ensures it can continue indefinitely and that fish stocks can remain productive and healthy.
2
Environmental impact
What are the impacts? The fishing activity must be managed carefully so that other species and habitats within the ecosystem remain healthy.
3
Effective fisheries management
Are operations well managed? MSC-certified fisheries must comply with relevant laws and must be able to adapt to changing environmental circumstances.
Um bilião
people, mostly in developing countries, depend on fish as their main source of protein.
200 milhões
people are directly or indirectly employed in the fisheries sector and the seafood industry.
Mais de 50%
of fish and seafood traded in the world comes from developing countries.
