| Abstract: | Certification of where, when and how fish are caught is emerging as an important fisheries management tool. The history of
eco-labelling in the fisheries sector is relatively short and actual experiences of eco-labelling are limited, although an
emerging trend is shaping in European and US markets. Eco-labelling in fisheries gained increased impetus with the development
of the non-government Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in 1996. This paper reviews the emerging importance of certification
and eco-labelling in the fisheries sector, the development and operation of the MSC, identifying particularly the role of
‘third party certification’ as promoted by the MSC, and notes the opportunities and challenges for the MSC and eco-labelling
in general. |
