Barren sea

Global fish consumption has increased dramatically over the last few years and has resulted in 50% of the world's wild fish stocks being fished to their biological limit, with 25% being overfished.
If stocks are not managed responsibly, we risk losing them forever; not only would this result in a breakdown of the marine eco-system, it could also mean that millions of people would be without a job and more than a billion could lose their primary source of protein.
The MSC urges people to choose fish with its bold blue eco-label to reverse this trend and instead create sustainable, productive fisheries that will meet the needs for future generations and support a flourishing marine environment.
