November 5, 2024 — The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has launched a new venture designed to incentivize fisheries improvement and prepare them for certification.
The MSC Improved Program will accelerate the improvement of fisheries that do not currently meet the conditions of the MSC Fisheries Standard. According to MSC, the program will offer support and incentives to fisheries in exchange for following an independently verified action plan and making measurable improvements over a five-year period.
