October 27, 2026 — The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has launched a prototype fishery financial model that it said could support financing for the sustainable seafood sector.
According to the MSC, the new model gives banks and financiers more insight into risk and resilience within the seafood sector. It also said that the new model suggests well-managed, MSC-certified fisheries support a more resilient long-term economic model and that those fisheries are twice as valuable as an otherwise identical fishery that is not as well managed.
