Why should I get involved?

Your involvement is crucial

As a stakeholder in a fishery, you are an essential source of information that will be needed to conduct a meaningful assessment of that fishery. Whether you are a scientist, a fishery manager, a seafood processor, a government representative, a community member, a conservationist or other stakeholder with an interest in the fishery assessment outcome, your information contributes to a thorough assessment of a fishery in relation to the MSC standard. 

Your input helps to ensure that:
•    the issues important to you or your organization are taken into consideration in the assessment;
•    the assessment of the fishery is well-informed and comprehensive;
•    the outcome of the assessment is consistent with the rigorous MSC standard.
•    strengthen stakeholder support for both the result obtained in this fishery and for the overall MSC certification programme.
