This House congratulates the Orkney creel fishery for achieving a world-first accolade in being certified against the Community Catch Standard
Motion text
That this House congratulates the Orkney creel fishery for achieving a world-first accolade in being certified against the Community Catch Standard for small scale fisheries; notes that the accreditation is intended to mark high standards for responsible, transparent and community-led seafood sourcing, and recognises organisations that demonstrate strong standards in responsible sourcing, traceability, labour rights, community benefit, and stewardship of marine resources; recognises that assessment of the fishery was carried out independently by NSF, the global certification and assurance organisation; and believes that such accreditation can be an important benchmark for sustainable and economically beneficial fisheries practice in coastal communities across the United Kingdom.
