What It Takes For You

Do you know what it takes to keep fish on your plate and in the sea, forever?

“Early mornings. Long nights at sea. Fishing is a way of life, so we’re doing all we can to ensure there’s seafood for future generations.”

Alan Dwan, hake fisherman, Newlyn

This is 'What It Takes'

Here at the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), we're on a mission to end overfishing, so future generations can enjoy the seafood we love. It’s so important to keep our seas and oceans teeming with life but we know how daunting it can be to work out how we can all play our part. Thankfully, it’s so easy for us all to help! Just look for the MSC blue fish label when you buy seafood to help preserve our oceans and protect seafood for future generations.

What is the MSC blue fish label?

The MSC blue fish ecolabel means that your seafood is certified as sustainable and traceable. All it takes for you to make a big difference to our oceans is to look for this when you’re shopping or dining out.

By choosing the MSC little blue fish label, you’re choosing sustainable seafood that will keep our oceans thriving for future generations.
