Protecting fisheries, improving livelihoods (pdf 1.88mb)

This brochure outlines the Marine Stewardship Council's program which is aimed at promoting stakeholders to work together to achieve national and international sustainable fisheries targets.

The Marine Stewardship Council's (MSC) approach to sustainable fisheries is a unique, win-win concept which offers an innovative means to help government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the fishing industry, seafood businesses and the general public to work together to meet national and international targets for sustainable fisheries.

The MSC's fishery eco-labelling and certification program allows consumers to identify and support environmentally responsible fishing practices through purchasing decisions.
