VisionFor the world’s oceans to be
teeming with life,
and seafood supplies
safeguarded for this and
future generations
2030
aspiration More than a third of global
marine catch certified or
engaged by 2030. MSC is a
leading catalyst for improved
fisheries management and
market transformation,
contributing to the sustainable
use of our oceans, supporting
resilience, food security and
livelihoods
2020 goal20% of global marine catch
comes from MSC certified or
engaged fisheries, supporting
productivity and resilience in
globally important marine
ecosystems

1. Economic value
2. MSC export potential
3. Strategic for MSC (how well does it link to MSC’s strategic plan)
4. Strategic species for MMAF
5. Likelihood of meeting MSC performance level (within 5 years)
6. Importance for food security
7. Stakeholder support
8. Domestic market opportunity
Stakeholders were asked to score species on 8 criteria
