The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) was established in 1997 to address unsustainable fishing and safeguard seafood supplies for the future. Working with scientists and marine experts, they have developed the world's most recognised standard for sustainable wild-caught seafood. Well-managed fisheries that ensure the long-term sustainability of fish stocks and keep ecosystems healthy can be certified to this standard, and their products sold with the blue MSC ecolabel. This, their fourth Global Impacts Report, looks at the impact of the MSC from the first certification in 1999 to 2015, showcasing recent improvements and highlighting the overall progress that certified fisheries have made to secure thriving fish stocks and healthy oceans.
