United Kingdom: Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting MSC to be suspended.

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has announced the suspension of certificates for Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting fisheries from 30 December 2020, impacting eight certificates from Europe, Norway, Iceland, Russia, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and the UK. The suspension is due to the lack of an international agreement on catch levels and the overex exploitation of the stocks, with the herring fisheries landing between 600,000 to 700,000 tonnes per year. The suspension means that herring and blue whiting caught after the suspension date cannot be sold as MSC certified. The MSC is urging nations to agree on a quota-sharing system to ensure the health of the stocks, a requirement for continued certification that has not been met.
