Stocks are up, first Baltic cod fishery achieves MSC certification
This week, Danish vessels will start landing MSC certified Baltic cod in Danish ports. The DFPO Denmark Eastern Baltic cod fishery was today certified as a sustainable and well-managed fishery against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) environmental standard. The cod has been a commercially important species in the Baltic region since the 15th century and now, consumers across Europe will, for the first time, be able to buy Baltic cod bearing the distinctive blue MSC ecolabel.
