Certification

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)

The MSC standard is designed to assess if the wild seafood  is caught in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. There are three principles on which the fishery will be assessed:

• Principle 1: The fishing activity must be at a level which ensures it can continue indefinitely (Sustainable fish stocks).
• Principle 2: Fishing operations must be managed to maintain the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the ecosystem (Minimising environmental impact).
• Principle 3: The fishery must comply with relevant laws and have a  management system that is responsive to changing circumstances (Effective Management).

To determine if the principles are met, 28 performance indicators are used to score the fishery by independent conformity assessment bodies.
