Vietnamese fisheries seek sustainable industry
24 | 08 | 2007
The Viet Nam Association of Seafood Processors and Exporters (VASEP) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) are to get together to award Vietnamese seafood products with the Marine Stewardship Council’s certification.
A Memorandum of Understanding underscoring their cooperation on the environmentally sustainable designation was inked on July 13.
Under the MoU, the VASEP and WWF will collect data and report the development status of Vietnamese fisheries to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for certification consideration.
The project is scheduled to run through September of this year and will be conducted in the central and the southern regions.
