Buy Marine Stewardship Council certified fishHelp
Did you know: Over three quarters of the world's fishing grounds have been so overfished they are now below sustainable levels. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an independent global non-profit organisation which has developed an environmental standard for sustainable and well-managed fisheries. MSC-certified products now include Thames herring and prawns from Scotland's Loch Torridon, as well as salmon and other products from around the world. They can be bought in shops, supermarkets and even restaurants in the UK.
