The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a global nonprofit organization that works to end overfishing around the world. When you make the switch to sustainable seafood, you are directly supporting the fisheries and businesses making the fishing industry more sustainable. These fisheries are pioneering new ways to conserve our marine environment.
