According to Friend of the Sea, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) 'Guidelines for the Ecolabelling of fish and fishery products from marine capture fisheries' indicate among the "minimum substantive requirements and criteria for ecolabels" (art.30) that the "stock under consideration is not overfished [...]".
Friend of the Sea says its criteria requires categorically that in order for a product to be ecolabelled as sustainable it must originate from a stock which is not overexploited according to the updated information from FAO, regional fishery bodies or national marine research Institutes. For this reason Friend of the Sea has not certified products from overexploited fisheries.
However, it claims other schemes have certified fisheries which "insist on overexploited or even depleted stocks". Source:
