sustainability

At Canadian Seafoods we believe in the future of our ocean and sustainable fishing is the key to that future. We believe in providing products which have met the standards/requirements of sustainable harvesting methods.

One of the most widely recognized labels representing the sustainability of our fish stocks is the MSC label (Marine Stewardship Council). Authentic Canadian Seafoods has a MSC Chain of Custody certificate which allow us to supply seafood originating from MSC certified fisheries.

It is the mission of MSC to use their ecolabel and fishery certification program to contribute to the health of the world’s oceans by recognizing and rewarding sustainable fishing practices, influencing the choices people make when buying seafood, and working with our partners to transform the seafood market to a sustainable basis.The 3 main areas of focus for MSC are; To collaborate with fishers, retailers, processors, consumers and others to drive change forward; Never compromise on the environmental standards that have been set; Continue to lead the world in wild capture fishery certification, with the most trusted, recognized and credible seafood ecolabel.
