When we buy seafood, its either farmed or wild. We explain the differences in how these are sourced as well as the impacts on people and the planet.
Responsibly farmed seafood has been produced in a way that minimises environmental impacts and protects workers' rights and local communities.
Look for the green fish label from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.
Find out why the WWF recommends ASC certified responsibly farmed seafood.
Wild, sustainable seafood has been caught in a way that means there’s plenty more fish in the sea now and in the future.
Look for the blue fish label from the Marine Stewardship Council.
Find out why the WWF recommends MSC certified sustainable seafood.
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) share a common heritage and vision that global seafood supplies should be sustainable, responsibly managed and supported by secure supply chains. The MSC’s focus is sustainable capture of wild seafood and the ASC sets standards for responsible aquaculture.

The ASC and MSC certification programs are globally recognised as the world’s most credible, science-based standards for sustainable and responsible seafood.
Building on each other’s expertise, the ASC and the MSC are working together for healthy lakes, rivers and oceans, and helping to secure the livelihoods of those who depend upon them.
In Australia, we jointly campaign for seafood forever through our annual Sustainable Seafood Week.
Find out more about how the MSC and the ASC work together.
Our approach means everyone can play a part in that future while enjoying seafood, not avoiding it.
For more than 20 years fisheries, scientists, consumers and industry have been part of a collective effort to make sure our oceans are fished sustainably.
Sustainable fishing means leaving enough fish in the ocean, respecting habitats and ensuring people who depend on fishing can maintain their livelihoods.
