Ocean Vision 2030: Are eco-certifications ready for the challenges?

Ocean Vision 2030: Are eco-certifications ready for the challenges?

As the drive towards sustainability accelerates, the expectations for the fishing industry and its transparency are increasing. Consumers buy products with eco certifications to support the green transition, but are these helping to push the agenda forward or potentially undermining progress by simply certifying ‘business as usual’? What are the current best practices in the fishing industry and how do we expect these to change by 2030?
