  • The MSC approach for developing harvest strategies and harvest control rules for Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs)

    Open AccessA N Gutteridge, Michael C Melnychuk et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    Well-designed and robust harvest strategies are a key governance tool to achieve long term sustainability of target stocks. In some fisheries, however, such as those governed by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs), the development and adoption of harvest strategies can be challenging. Seafood eco-labelling programs, such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), can be one way of incentivising fisheries to advocate for the adoption…

  • Defining Best Practice in Global Stakeholder Consultations

    Open AccessPolly Burns, Beth Polidoro et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    The Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) Fisheries Standard is a voluntary standard that sets requirements for wild capture fisheries to be assessed against, indicating sustainability to the supply chain and consumers. The MSC programme has always sought to engage stakeholders in the development and implementation of their standards to ensure a transparent and robust approach to certification. At least every five years, the MSC reviews its Fisherie…

  • Testing the sensitivity of fishery assessment scores to changes in the MSC Fisheries Standard requirements

    Open AccessLauren M Koerner, Michael C Melnychuk et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    Fisheries may volunteer to be audited against the Marine Stewardship Council’s Fisheries Standard to achieve eco-certification for their seafood products. The Standard uses a hierarchical scoring structure with four nested levels: (i) three principles, (ii) nine components, (iii) 27–29 performance indicators, and (iv) 78–93 scoring issues each evaluated at up to three scoring guideposts. Changes to this structure to revise requirements can affect…

  • The new Marine Stewardship Council requirements to improve ghost gear management

    Open AccessShaun McLennan, Beth Polidoro et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear, otherwise known as ‘ghost gear’, impacts marine ecosystems in a variety of important ways. The growing recognition of these impacts has led to an evolution of fisheries management with a focus on gear loss avoidance and ghost gear mitigation. The Marine Stewardship Council has responded to the global ghost gear challenge through important revisions made to its Fisheries Standard during the recent Fisheri…

  • Lessons learnt on the management of short-lived fish from the Bay of Biscay anchovy case study

    Open AccessAndrés Uriarte, Leire Ibaibarriaga et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    This paper summarizes the lessons learnt for the management of small pelagic fish from the case study of managing the international fishery on the Bay of Biscay anchovy. A constant catch regime ended up with a fishery crash and closure (2005–2009) after a series of recruitment failures. Precautionary advices had been disregarded due to their inability to predict the size of the population during the first half of the year when the major fishery t…

  • A novel framework to evaluate the accuracy of information used in MSC fisheries assessments

    Open AccessTim K Davies, Elise Quinn et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Effective fisheries management is reliant on the availability of accurate information, which also provides the evidence base for certification against sustainability standards. In this paper we describe the process of developing ambitious new requirements on the evidence needed to demonstrate a fishery’s performance against the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard. A novel Evidence Requirements Framework was developed to evaluate a fishe…

  • The MSC Fisheries Standard Review policy development process

    Open AccessErnesto Jardim, Rohan J C CurreyARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    The Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) global fisheries certification program plays a crucial role in MSC's Theory of Change by promoting fishing practices that mitigate impacts on ecosystems while supporting sustainable harvesting of marine and freshwater fish and invertebrates. This paper discusses the Fisheries Standard Review (FSR) process, which aims to keep the standard updated to reflect evolving fisheries management best practices and sci…
