Global seaweed production standard gets green light

The MSC had previously spoken of its plans to expand its sustainability standard beyond wild-capture fish and invertebrate fisheries to include wild seaweed for the first time.

At the time the MSC said it was responding to increasing global seaweed fishery production and a demand for certification in this area. 

In order to introduce the global standard, the MSC has announced it will be joining forces with the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) , an independent non-profit organisation which sets a standard for sustainable aquaculture.

Together the two bodies hope to produce a standard that will build on their respective seafood certification and labelling programs while also including a public consultation process until the end of next month.
