Sustainable Fisheries Greenland (SFG) works with fishers, industry, and researchers to ensure that the Greenland seas are fished sustainably and that it is easy to find and buy certified sustainable seafood. SFG promotes sustainability across all fisheries and uses the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard to demonstrate that our fisheries live up to worldwide best practices. By choosing fish products with the blue fish of the MSC label, you are directly supporting fishing that protects our seas, and encouraging others to do the same. Currently, 70-75% of the Greenland export value of fish and shellfish are MSC-certified, primarily from well-managed West Greenland shrimp, lumpfish, and Greenland halibut fisheries. Greenland fisheries account for more than 90% of the Greenland export, and sustainability is a key aspect of not only fisheries but the entire Greenland economy. SFG is owned by representatives from the Greenland fishing industry. These share the cost of pursuing, acquiring, and maintaining MSC certificates by focusing on incremental steps toward a higher level of sustainability. SFG has 23 members, who all contribute to resolving issues and MSC-certificate conditions financially and strategically. The members all adhere to the MSC Chain of Custody (CoC) requirements which ensure that buyers and consumers buy products that are harvested responsibly, and it is a testament to the joint effort to manage our seas sustainably. Continued sustainability is pivotal to the long-term fishing prospects in Greenland, the Greenland economy, and the consumer's trust
