Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) are multi-stakeholder initiatives that aim to help fisheries work towards sustainability.

Increasing market demand for sustainable seafood has led to considerable growth in the number of FIPs. The MSC supports fisheries in FIPs that are committed to achieving certification with our Improvement Program.

The MSC Improvement Program

Our Improvement Program was developed to incentivise better, faster improvement, towards levels where fisheries can confidently enter the MSC certification program.
