Over £5.25 million has been dedicated to 144 fisheries and projects around the world through the Ocean Stewardship Fund.

This includes 113 grants awarded through our annual grant scheme. 

In 2024, nearly £1 million was awarded to projects including research that will safeguard fish stocks and minimise fisheries’ impacts on wildlife.

Around 40% of the grants are supporting fisheries operating in developing economies, such as Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa, and includes nine fisheries that are transitioning to sustainable practices through the In-Transition to MSC program.
