Part of our work is to evaluate how well our standards and certification system functions. Do the activities of the MSC program help towards achieving our vision of abundant oceans with seafood supplies safeguarded for the future?
Are we delivering on our Theory of Change?
Good monitoring and evaluation is needed to verify whether our program is delivering the impacts promised by the MSC label.
Katie Longo, MSC Senior Scientist
To carry out this this monitoring and evaluation, we have a dedicated team who systematically assess activities and:
The MSC Monitoring and Evaluation Framework describes the purpose and scope of the M&E program. It contains the indicators used to measure changes and compare progress against targets.
MSC Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Reports describe a series of indicators representing the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. These indicators reflect diverse aspects of the MSC program and aid in evaluating whether the MSC is delivering on its vision, mission, and Theory of Change for the production of sustainable seafood.
An earlier version of the MSC Monitoring and Evaluation Framework was developed in 2006 during a multi-stakeholder workshop. It was expanded through a public consultation process in 2011.
MSC Global Impacts Reports were the precursor to the current Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Reports. These earlier Global Impacts Reports summarised key elements of the MSC program and evaluated impacts of the MSC program.
For 20 over years fisheries, scientists, consumers and industry have been part of a collective effort to make sure our oceans are fished sustainably.
Our research collaborations deepen our understanding of sustainable fishing and supply chain traceability.
Fish is an important source of food and income for communities around the world. For many people, sustainable fishing is a necessity, not a luxury.
