U.S. North Atlantic Swordfish fishery enters full assessment for MSC certification

- Details
Day Boat Seafood LLC of Lake Park, Florida has entered the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish longline and buoy gear fishery into full, independent, third-party assessment against the Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) principles and criteria for sustainable and well-managed fisheries. If successful, swordfish harvested from this area will be eligible to display the MSC ecolabel.
Vessels fishing in the Southeast U.S. North Atlantic portion of the fishery, which fish predominantly in the federal waters of the east coast of Florida, are currently certified. The new assessment will determine the sustainability of the U.S. fishery in the North Atlantic and excludes the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. This is the second MSC certification sought by Day Boat Seafood and, if certified, would offer a significant growth in the size of the U.S. swordfish fishery covered in the MSC program over the currently certified fishery conducted by Day Boat Seafood in the Southeast U.S. North Atlantic swordfish fishery.
