The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a globally recognized organization committed to promoting sustainable fishing practices. The MSC website serves as an information hub, offering insights into their mission, initiatives, and certification program. The organization's primary goal is to safeguard the world's oceans and ensure seafood is sourced from fisheries that meet their rigorous sustainability standards. This is achieved through a comprehensive certification process, which evaluates fisheries against three core principles: sustainable fish stocks, minimal environmental impact, and effective fisheries management. By providing reliable and accessible information, the MSC website aims to educate consumers, businesses, and fishery stakeholders about sustainable seafood choices and the importance of preserving marine ecosystems.
