The MSC runs an exciting and ambitious program, working with partners to transform the world's seafood markets to a sustainable basis.
With experts we developed standards for sustainable fishing and seafood traceability. They ensure that MSC-labelled seafood comes from, and can be traced back to, a sustainable fishery.
The MSC meets the highest benchmarks for credible certification and ecolabelling programs, including the UN Food and Agriculture Organization guidelines and the ISEAL Code of Good Practice.

The MSC’s Developing World Fisheries Programme ensures that developing countries have fair and equal access to MSC certification and global sustainable seafood markets.
The estimated retail value of seafood products bearing the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) logo is estimated around 1.4 billion US dollars annually. These numbers, based on extrapolation of half-year figures, confirm a continued trend of steady year-on-year growth at around $0.4 billion.
The Marine Stewardship Council is being joined by Andrew Mallison as the Standards and Licensing Director. Andrew spent 12 years as Marine Technologist at M&S, and joins the MSC as head of the teams responsible for the MSC standard for fishery certification and the MSC standard for Chain of Custody (supply chain traceability).
