This book discusses to what extent the precautionary approach to
fisheries management is reflected in the MSC Fisheries Standard and
in the certification of four clusters of fisheries in polar waters.
Certification according to private sustainability standards
(ecolabelling) has become an important addition to public fisheries
management in recent years. The major global ecolabel in terms of
comprehensiveness and coverage is the Marine Stewardship Council
(MSC) Fisheries Standard. Becoming and remaining certified requires
continuous behavioural adaptation from fisheries through a
fine-meshed system of improvement conditions attached to
certification. Focus is on how certification has influenced fisher
behaviour and state practice. In the Southern Ocean krill and
toothfish fisheries, MSC certification has generated new scientific
knowledge about the stocks. In the Barents Sea cod and haddock
fisheries, fishing companies have voluntarily adapted their
behaviour to reduce the fishery's impacts on endangered, threatened
and protected species and bottom habitats. In the local lumpfish
fisheries in Greenland, Iceland and Norway, measures have been
introduced to reduce the effects on seabirds and marine mammals. In
the Northeast Atlantic mackerel fisheries, impacts have been more
modest. Private certification is no panacea, but it seems to have
found a niche as a supplement to national legislation and
international agreements.
