Sustainable+Fisheries

Fish and seafood play a peculiar role in the food supply chain. Fisheries have great importance for emerging countries’ economy and at the same time they can have a hard environmental impact. Fish stock overexploitation has become a major issue, and consumers are increasingly interested in well managed and sustainable fisheries.

Services & solutions

Demonstrating good resource stewardship to consumers and stakeholders is becoming increasingly important.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fishing helps fisheries demonstrate good resource stewardship to consumers and stakeholders. Certification shows proof of sustainable operations and transparency on target stock, impact on the marine environment and effectiveness of the fishery’s management system. It is linked to the MSC Chain of Custody Standard which enables companies to demonstrate to consumers that the seafood products they buy come from sustainable fisheries.
