An exemplary instance of such ecolabeling initiatives is the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), globally renowned as a premier certification and ecolabelling program dedicated to sustainable seafood.
To achieve MSC certification, a fishery must adhere to three key principles:
Only harvesting healthy stocks,
Implementing effective management practices to ensure stocks can be fished sustainably for the long term, and
Minimizing their impact on other species and the broader ecosystem.
