The MSC is an international organization co-founded in 1995 by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The MSC consulted with dozens of scientists to develop strict standards for responsible fisheries management. Fisheries can apply to be assessed to see if they qualify for the MSC seal of approval.” After a rigorous, comprehensive review, a team of independent scientists certified in 2005 that the Alaska pollock fishery meets the MSC standard for a well-managed, sustainable fishery. Alaska pollock products are eligible to carry the MSC eco-label. For more information on the MSC, see www.msc.org.
