Certification to MSC Sustainable Fishing Standards is comprehensive and entails both a pre-assessment and full assessment, as well as ongoing annual surveillance audits of certified fisheries. The standard reflects the most up-to-date understanding of internationally accepted fisheries science and management.
Assessments cover three core principles which fisheries must meet – sustainable fish stocks, minimising environmental impact and effective fisheries management.
