The fisheries sector is poised for increased market opportunities following the upcoming certification of ten fish varieties and seven others currently in the process. The International Maritime Safety Council (IMSC) is rolling out these programs to promote sustainable fishing practices. These certifications will signify adherence to rigorous environmental standards, reducing the potential for negative impacts on marine ecosystems. The targeted fish types encompass a range of species, with significant focus placed on minimizing bycatch and promoting responsible harvesting methods. The implementation of these measures is expected to broaden access to these products in international markets.
