Ghostgear en Plastic in de Oceaan | Marine Stewardship Council
Leer hoe de MSC-visserij omgaat met ghostgear, verloren visuitrusting & plastic in de vervuilde oceaan & hoe dit aspect is geïntegreerd in de MSC-Standaarden ...
MSC Visserij Standaard
Om MSC-gecertificeerd te raken en blijven, moet een visserij kennis tonen van de omvang van het verlies van vistuig en de impact van dit verloren vistuig, waarbij geen significant negatieve impact mag zijn op het ecosysteem en aanwezige diersoorten. Dit valt onder Principe 2 van de <anchor>MSC Visserij Standaard</anchor> over ecosysteem impact; bij een assessment kijken de auditors naar de risico’s op en impact van spooktuig op de habitat (bijvoorbeeld koralen of voortplantingsgebieden) en de impact op de mortaliteit van onbedoelde vangsten (dus de mate waarin verloren tuig nog vissen of andere zeedieren kan doen sterven). Lees meer op pagina 50 van de Standaard, in GSA7 (Engelstalig).

- The MSC Fisheries Standard

The MSC Fisheries Standard is used to assess if a fishery is well-managed and sustainable.

The Standard reflects the most up-to-date understanding of internationally accepted fisheries science and management.

[We review and develop the MSC Fisheries Standard](/standards-and-certification/developing-our-standards) in consultation with scientists, the fishing industry and conservation groups.

[![How the Standard works](/ResourcePackages/MSC/assets/img/defaultListImg.jpg)](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/how-the-standard-works)

### [How the Standard works](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/how-the-standard-works)

When a fishery is certified, its catch can be sold with the blue MSC label. Fisheries are assessed against three core principles by accredited independent certifiers.

[![The Fisheries Standard version 3.1](/ResourcePackages/MSC/assets/img/defaultListImg.jpg)](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/version-3)

### [The Fisheries Standard version 3.1](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/version-3)

The Fisheries Standard now features better protections for marine life, as well as stronger fisheries management and compliance requirements.

[![Revised implementation of version 3](/ResourcePackages/MSC/assets/img/defaultListImg.jpg)](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/revised-version-3-approach-implementation)

### [Revised implementation of version 3](https://www.msc.org/standards-and-certification/fisheries-standard/revised-version-3-approach-implementation)

We are making changes to Version 3 of the Fisheries Standard to ensure it delivers the intended changes on the water.
