Fisheries around the world are demonstrating that they are sustainable by meeting the MSC environmental standard for sustainable fishing and getting certified. Use the links on the left to find out more about fisheries that are currently being assessed against the standard.

There are currently 88 fisheries undergoing assessment in the MSC program.

Assessments are carried out by independent certifiers, not by the MSC. At key stages in the assessment process for each fishery the certifier invites public comment. If you would like to contribute to the assessment of any of these fisheries please contact the relevant certifier. Your input helps to ensure well-informed, robust assessments.

To be kept informed about the progress of all fisheries through the assessment by regular emails please contact Matt Watson, Policy Team Administrator.
