Tridge summary
Iceland's fisheries have achieved certification from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a global program that ensures sustainable and environmentally friendly fishing. This initiative is crucial for Iceland, given its heavy reliance on fishing economically and culturally. The country's sustainable fishing practices, strict quotas, and technology investments have led to the certification of various fish species, including cod, ling, haddock, herring, and saithe. Despite a setback with pelagic fisheries losing their MSC certificate due to a quota sharing dispute, Iceland's leadership in MSC certification among fisheries, particularly in the North East Atlantic, is celebrated. This certification not only enhances the industry's global competitiveness but also garners consumer trust and supports the health of marine ecosystems.
