Here you'll find a series of reports published by the MSC, including our Annual and Global Impacts reports and more.
This year’s report highlights the resilience of our partners in the fishing and supply chain sectors in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite the challenges, the MSC program continued to grow in reach, scope, and impact over the last year. This is an encouraging sign: showing that fisheries, processors, brands, retailers, restaurants, and consumers understand the grave threat that overfishing poses to the health of our oceans and remain committed to the sustainable seafood movement.
Our Annual Report provides an update on the progress and impact the MSC program has had on the water and in the market in 2020-21. Highlights include:

“The Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of the seafood industry, all over the world. But rather than roll back on their commitment to sustainable seafood, fisheries, supply chain companies, retailers and consumers have demonstrated remarkable resilience and deepened commitment to contributing to the health of our oceans.”
Rupert Howes, Marine Stewardship Council CEO
