Abstract

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a global, non-profit and independent organization working to reverse the decline in global fish stocks through the use of market incentives. The MSC's fishery ecolabelling and certification programme allows consumers to identify and support environmentally responsible fishing practices through purchasing decisions. Consumer support for sustainable fishing in the market place leads to economic benefits for wellmanaged fisheries and long-term sustainability of fisheries, ensuring secure livelihoods and continuous availability of fish for food. With its seal of approval on more than 6% of all wild-caught fish, MSC is the world's biggest eco-label for sustainable seafood. If a fishery is successfully certified against the MSC Standard, products from the fishery can be sold with the MSC's unique ecolabel, which identifies seafood as coming from a well-managed fishery.
