- Abstract
We examine the role that seafood eco-labels, such as that of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), can have in creating sustainable fisheries around the world. Based on extensive consultations with industry stakeholders in Europe and North America, we explore whether the emergence of these eco-labels can be used as a means to lessen the decline in commercial fisheries and be truly seen as a change mechanism for sustainability. When an industry such as the commercial fishing industry faces a crisis in which its resources are potentially eliminated by 2048, organisations need to respond. The emerging eco-labels within the commercial fishing industry may be seen as an excellent example of organisations using sustainability as a change mechanism in order to survive and succeed.
