Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a mid-sized international nonprofit based in London that aims to protect oceans and safeguard seafood supplies for future generations. It advances its mission through a certification program and a blue label designed to recognize and reward sustainable fishing, with the goal of influencing consumer choices and transforming the seafood market toward sustainability. The organization operates worldwide, engaging partners across the seafood value chain. In November 2025 MSC announced the Regenerative Fisheries Improvement Program, a certification framework intended to accelerate recovery of overexploited stocks, protect marine habitats, and support fishing communities. The MSC positions itself in the nonprofit sector focused on ocean health and sustainable seafood, serving fisheries, processors, retailers, and consumers seeking verifiable sustainability credentials.
