Get certified! Your guide to the ASC-MSC Seaweed Standard audit process

Description

This guide provides an overview of what you can expect during each stage of the ASC-MSC Seaweed Standard audit process. We hope it will help to ensure that your seaweed farm or wild harvest operation audit is efficient and effective, and give you the best possible chance of a positive outcome.
Achieving certification to the ASC-MSC Seaweed Standard validates the efforts made by your seaweed operation to ensure long term social and environmental sustainability.
Certified seaweed producers have the opportunity to supply markets where environmental and social credibility plays an increasingly decisive role in purchasing decisions.
The ASC-MSC Seaweed Standard is applicable to all seaweed operations around the world. All locations and scales of seaweed operations, including both wild harvest operations and production from at-sea or land-based aquaculture systems (farms), can apply for certification.
