Why Join the MSC?

At the MSC, our vision is for oceans to be abundant with life, supporting communities and seafood supplies for generations to come. Overfishing and climate change continue to challenge the future of marine ecosystems, but through our globally recognised certification and ecolabel programme, we’re working with fisheries, retailers, and communities to drive lasting change.

More than 700 fisheries, representing 19% of the global marine catch, are now engaged with the MSC programme. Our certified seafood products are sold in over 66 countries, and our work is driven by international collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose.

Join us, and be part of a global movement to protect the ocean.
