Sustainability

Sustainability is the key to success in marine fisheries.  Our expertise can help you to match your business to national and international sustainability standards.

The key international sustainability standard for fisheries is Marine Stewardship Council certification.  We work closely with the world’s leading MSC certified accreditation body, Intertek Moody Marine.  Together we have successfully assessed and certified more than 20 fisheries world-wide.  You can find out more here.

Our unrivalled expertise in this area can help you if you are thinking of MSC certification or if you are already undergoing certification.  Sound advice can make the difference between success and failure.  Find out more here.

At the national level here in the UK, we have a solid reputation for providing advice on the integration of fishing activity with marine conservation regulations.  Most of the UK coastline and inshore waters are now subject to one or more nature conservation designations.  These designations can present a significant barrier to inshore fishing businesses, and we can help you chart a course around these obstacles.  Just drop us a line if you need assistance.
