For over 25 years fisheries, scientists, consumers, and industry have been part of a collective effort to make sure our ocean is fished sustainably.

How MSC Certified Fisheries Drive Change

Since the MSC was founded in 1997, fisheries responsible for 18.9% of marine catch have been certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard. Certification is helping to grow and maintain the number of sustainable fish populations around the world.

To remain certified, fisheries have made over 2,600 improvements to their practices and management.

Globally, more than 51,000 locations, including supermarket chains, restaurants, fishmongers, and hotels are now certified to sell seafood with the MSC blue fish label.
