Why is necessary a MSC Certification?
There is a global crisis of fish stocks around the world. When fisheries collapse, or suffer severe reductions, it is not only the stability of the marine ecosystem threatened, but also of the local economies. Seafood products that reach MSC Standard as well-managed and sustainable fisheries can carry MSC eco-label. It is a market incentive that prompt fisheries to be voluntarily evaluated against MSC standards, which influences directly in their management. MSC eco-label highlights good fishing practices and brings confidence among consumers that they are not contributing to the over-fishing problem. Also, it offers them real information and power to influence through their purchasing decisions.
