概要
In the context of the ambitious environmental, social and economic targets within the Sustainable Development Goals, new partnerships are emerging which aim to scale-up sustainable production, trade and consumption. This case study shows how the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and a coalition of stakeholders enabled Suriname's seabob fishery to become the first MSC certified shrimp fishery in the tropics. The certification process also led to wider improvements in fisheries management, with the Suriname government investing in scientific stock assessments, formal management plans and monitoring of illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing.
