Marine Stewardship Council

If the product information is referring to a seafood product that comes from a fishery that is independently certified as sustainable under the criteria developed and governed by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the company/companies listed have been independently certified for Chain of Custody under criteria developed and governed by the Marine Stewardship Council. FishChoice.com is not the official record keeping body for information regarding these Chain of Custody certifications. If you need current information regarding a specific company’s Chain of Custody certificate or a specific fisheries certification, you must contact MSC directly.

Products that carry the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification and logo have been independently certified by a third party certifier to meet the criteria developed and governed by the MSC. You may not use the MSC logo or make any mention of MSC certification without holding a Chain of Custody certification. Following certification, you must also obtain a logo license from Marine Stewardship Council International, the MSC’s trading company. These certifications can be obtained by contacting the MSC for further information.
