MSC is the world’s leading ecolabel and certification program for wild-caught sustainable seafood. When buyers and consumers see the blue MSC ecolabel they can be sure that product is traceable back to a fishery that has been certified to the MSC’s rigorous environmental standard as a sustainable and well-managed fishery. The standard ensures the fish stocks are healthy, the impact of fishing on the marine ecosystem is minimal, and the fishery is well-managed. Fisheries around the world voluntarily come forward to be assessed against the MSC standard and the open, transparent evaluation process is conducted by an independent, third-party certifier with full stakeholder engagement. Once a fishery is certified, all companies in the supply chain must have MSC Chain of Custody certification, which ensures MSC labeled seafood can be traced back to a certified source. Products marked with the MSC ecolabel support fisheries that are helping to protect the world's oceans.  www.msc.org
