The Ocean Stewardship Fund

Applications for the Ocean Stewardship Fund 2022 are now open to fisheries, scientists, NGOs and postgraduates. The Ocean Stewardship Fund aims to increase the number of sustainable fisheries worldwide through accelerating progress by funding innovative research and supporting fisheries at all stages on the path to sustainability.

To continue this trend toward more sustainable fisheries and seafood, we have committed 5% of all royalties from MSC certified product sales to the Ocean Stewardship Fund.

Five strands of funding are available under the Ocean Stewardship Fund. They are:

  1. Supporting scientific research
  2. Supporting fisheries making long term commitments to sustainability
  3. Supporting fisheries on the path to sustainability
  4. Supporting postgraduate student research to improve fisheries
  5. Supporting innovation in the industry

Grant Value

This year, over £1 million in grants are available for fisheries at all stages on their path to sustainability which are sub-divided into awards of £5 thousand to £50 thousand across five different strands.
