All hands on deck
It takes all of us to help protect the ocean.
This Sustainable Seafood Week we celebrate fishing communities who bring the seafood you love, to your plate.
By choosing MSC certified fish you can be sure it comes from a sustainable, well-managed fishery which minimises its impact on the marine environment.
Watch our campaign film and brand new TV ad that shines a light on the Shetland fishing community and the work they do to provide seafood for future generations.
