The Ocean Stewardship Fund offers grants to both MSC certified sustainable fisheries and improving fisheries.
Three different kinds of funding are available under the Ocean Stewardship Fund.
Our Science and Research Fund (SRF) awards grants of up to £50,000 for research projects that help fisheries meet and maintain sustainability best practice. This includes projects aimed at closing conditions of MSC certification.This year we particularly welcome projects focussing on ghost gear or endangered, threatened and protected (ETP) species.

Our Recertification Assistance Fund (RAF) helps MSC certified fisheries with the cost of Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) fees for the second or subsequent recertification audit.
Recertification grants are limited to either 75% of the CAB’s recertification audit costs, or GBP £30,000, whichever is lower.
