MSC salmon standard 2.0

For a number of years now, the MSC has put policy development for wild salmon under a microscope and has modified its certification requirements to include enhancement impacts on salmon.

The new standard of the certification requirements, version 2.0, was published last October and will become effective April 1, after which, "any new salmon fisheries entering the program will use these requirements ... but fisheries already existing in the program have three years," or until October 2017, to comply to the changes.
