MSC Certified Sustainable Seafood
MSC’s certification program is widely recognized as the gold standard in sustainable seafood and is the only certification program that meets the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) guidelines for sustainable fishing.1
What Does the MSC Blue Fish Label Mean?
When you see the MSC blue fish label, it means our seafood is traceable to a well-managed, sustainable fishery — independently certified up to global standards.
By choosing Safe Catch, you’re helping protect ocean health and ensure wild seafood for future generations. It’s a simple way to support a thriving, and protect marine biodiversity.
Why Does the World Need the MSC Blue Fish Label?
Overfishing is one of the biggest threats to ocean health — and by extension, the health of our planet. After the collapse of the Atlantic cod fishery, the Marine Stewardship Council was formed to help prevent similar disasters. Today, over a third of global fish stocks are overfished (SOFIA 2020).2
But there’s hope — fish are resilient. With proper management, stocks can recover. As a consumer, your choice matters. By choosing MSC certified seafood, you support sustainable practices and help protect this vital food source for future generations. Let’s treat seafood not as a commodity, but as a renewable resource.
