VISION
Our vision is of the world’s oceans teeming with life, and
seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations.
MISSION
Our mission is to use our ecolabel and fishery certification
program to contribute to the health of the world’s oceans by
recognizing and rewarding sustainable fishing practices,
influencing the choices people make when buying seafood,
and working with our partners to transform the seafood
market to a sustainable basis.
FOCUS
• We collaborate with fishers, retailers, processors,
consumers and others to drive change
• We never compromise on the environmental
standards we set, nor on our independence
• We continue to lead the world in wild capture
fishery certification, with the most trusted,
recognized and credible seafood ecolabel.
STANDARDS
The MSC fisheries standard is designed to assess if a fishery
is well-managed and sustainable. It has been developed in
consultation with the fishing industry, scientists and
conservation groups. Only seafood from an MSC certified
fishery can carry the blue MSC ecolabel.
Certification to the MSC fisheries standard is voluntary. It is
open to all fisheries involved in the wild-capture of marine
or freshwater organisms. This includes most types of fish and
shellfish, of any size, type or location.
What is assessed?
There are three core principles that every fishery must meet:
MSC Fisheries Standard assessment tree
