We’ve been part of a team effort to keep oceans healthy and seafood sustainable for more than 25 years. Read about the impact we and our partners have made in our latest Annual Report and our Preserving ocean life report.
Annual Report 2024-25
Despite ongoing global economic and geopolitical challenges, this has been a year of significant progress and innovation for our oceans. This was evidenced by the UN Ocean Conference in Nice this June, where the 15,000 delegates included more than 60 heads of state and heads of government.
Within the MSC Program, the number of fisheries engaged increased from 716 to 738. The total volume of MSC engaged catch is now 16,100,767 tonnes, or 20.6% of all wild marine catch.
There has also been encouraging progress in under-represented areas, including in Latin America and West Africa. Engaging more fisheries is a key part of our mission, and the report highlights the role of our new Improvement Program in achieving this.
Many more highlights are included inside. Download the report for:
- Features on key species groups: Whitefish, tuna, lobster, salmon, prawn and shrimp and octopus and squid.
- Delivering impact: Updates on our Improvement Program, the Ocean Stewardship Fund and Pathway to Sustainability projects.
- Raising awareness: How we and our partners are inspiring millions of consumers to choose MSC labelled seafood.

Preserving ocean life 2025
The ocean sustains life on earth and underwater, yet the richness of its biodiversity remains threatened. The latest science indicates that biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in history.
But across the globe, fisheries are working to minimise harm to the ecosystems they work in as they provide protein-rich food for millions.
Our latest report is packed with data, stories and case studies demonstrating how fishing sustainably can support biodiversity.
