The Marine Stewardship Council is a certification and ecolabelling program for sustainable seafood from wild fisheries
The Marine Stewardship Council works with fisheries, seafood companies, scientists, conservation groups and the public to promote the best environmental choice in seafood globally.
MSC’s standards cover sustainable fishing and seafood traceability. They ensure that MSC-labelled seafood comes from, and can be traced back to, sustainable fisheries.
The MSC standards are consistent with the "Guidelines for the Eco-labelling of Fish and Fishery Products from Marine Wild Capture Fisheries" adopted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in 2005.
