Wherever you are you can be part of the solution to overfishing and help improve the health of oceans around the world. Here are some of the things you can do.

Look for the ecolabel

Look for the blue MSC ecolabel when shopping or eating out to be sure that the seafood you’re buying is from a sustainable well-managed fishery.

Sell sustainable seafood

If you’re a retailer or restaurant, independent or chain, you can enjoy business benefits and meet consumer demand. If you’re in the seafood supply chain meet buyer expectations. Show your responsible business practices by getting certified to sell seafood from a traceable, certified sustainable source.

School canteens and school meal providers can be involved through our Fish & Kids project.

Get certified as a sustainable fishery

Show your fishing practices are sustainable and access business benefits.

Get certified to the MSC standard for a sustainable fishery.

Help a fishery get certified as sustainable

Provide financial support - Local authorities, national governments, industry organisations and NGOs are just some of the groups that have given financial support or capacity to help a fishery undergo assessment against the MSC standard. If you’re a seafood buyer you can encourage the fishery from which you source to get certified.

Contribute to an assessment - Our commitment to stakeholder participation allows anyone to have a say in the assessment process that each fishery undergoes to get MSC certified. Help our assessments to be robust and credible - find out how you can contribute to an assessment.

Donate to the MSC

The MSC is non-profit making. We rely on the generosity of organisations and individuals around the world to continue our vital work in safeguarding marine environments. Find out how you can support us in this mission.
