The Marine Stewardship Council's (MSC) certified sustainable seafood program has experienced steady growth in adoption by retail and food service buyers.  Established ten years ago, MSC was charged to create a certification standard that connects sustainable, well managed fisheries with buyers seeking assurances that seafood does not contribute to the depletion of fish stocks.   Now, 10 years later, MSC boasts more than 1,600 MSC labeled seafood products in 36 countries.  The number has tripled in the past 2 years.   We asked Kerry Coughlin, Communications Director, Americas to provide an update on Marine Stewardship Certified product in commercial markets.
