MSC Development Programme

Since its formation in 2007, the principal goal of SPSG has been to bring all of its fisheries under the umbrella of the independently certified Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) eco-label scheme confirming their status as sustainable and well-managed.

North Sea herring is currently part of the MSC programme. SPSG remains committed to entering other pelagic fisheries for reassessment when conditions permit doing so.
