The fisheries sector is poised for increased market opportunities following the approval of ten fish varieties and seven under evaluation for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. These certifications signify a commitment to sustainable fishing practices and responsible resource management. The approval process involves rigorous assessments of fishing methods and environmental impact. Ten fish species are currently undergoing scrutiny, while ten others are expected to be certified by the end of the year. This initiative aims to broaden access to sustainably harvested seafood for consumers globally, strengthening the industry’s ethical profile.
