The MSC received notice of a signed contract between the Purse Seine Vessel Owners Association (PSVOA) and Intertek Moody Marine (IMM), the certification body that will conduct an independent, third-party assessment of the entire Alaska salmon fishery against the MSC standard. The Alaska salmon fishery is seeking its third, five-year MSC certification and, if successful, Alaska salmon products from the client group coordinated through PSVOA would be eligible to continue to use the MSC ecolabel.
