The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has launched its new global blog, Seafood Matters.

The blog will host a diverse array of authoritative voices on sustainable seafood topics; explain the MSC’s standards and principles; provide a wide range of perspectives on the urgent issues facing the world’s oceans; explore different species; offer photo essays from MSC certified fisheries; and offer recipe suggestions for MSC labelled fish.

"We work in partnership to create models for intelligent stewardship," writes Rebecca Fordham, MSC global communications director in her first blog article. “We work to inspire change and create a market pull among consumers and suppliers – an appreciation of the economic and environmental value of sustainably sourced fish has the best chance of a transformative impact on the world's oceans."
