- •
Western Australia’s commercial fisheries (∼50 fisheries) have completed Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) pre-assessment.
- •
The pre-assessments were conducted using an Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM)-bioregional approach.
- •
This approach identified similarities between fisheries and highlighted issues with the MSC standard for data-limited and multispecies fisheries.
- •
Despite the challenges, the initiative has generated improvements to governance, consultation and assessment processes.
- •
WA now has a total of seven fisheries either MSC certified or in full assessment.
