research and projects aimed at assisting fisheries in their journey to achieving MSC certification.

<p style="margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This year, a total of £207,500 is available to academic institutions, independent researchers, fisheries, governments and non-governmental organisations.
</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The fund will support projects that address the knowledge and capacity obstacles that fisheries face in gaining certification. It is specifically aimed
at increasing the accessibility of the MSC programme for more of the world’s fisheries by working to reduce the barriers that small-scale and developing world fisheries face in achieving the MSC Standard.
