About CSI

Introducing Certified Seafood International

We’re proud to offer a new choice in the certification of wild-capture seafood. Certified Seafood International (CSI) provides a credible, cost-effective, and transparent wild-capture certification alternative with global reach. CSI assesses environmentally responsible fishery management using a rigorous standard grounded in internationally recognized UN FAO guidelines. Our certification includes a robust Chain of Custody with the ability to identify harvest origin on the ecolabel.

Why CSI? We’re Focused on What Matters

We believe certification shouldn’t come with a heavy financial burden. CSI delivers rigorous third-party assurance at lower cost, thanks to a clear standard and streamlined operations. You get value for money—without cutting corners.

We help tell the story of seafood. CSI’s ecolabel offers the option to include harvest origin, building trust and adding premium value. Our online platform provides transparency for certified fisheries, more meaningfully connecting buyers and sellers.

CSI helps good fisheries become great. By offering a stable, internationally recognized standard, we provide a clear path for fisheries seeking to achieve certification, helping to raise the bar industry-wide.

Launched in April 2025, CSI already includes 10 certified fisheries landing 3 million metric tonnes, thanks to the successful integration of the Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) program. Our global governing board includes representatives from Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. More fisheries globally are preparing to certify, with strong demand across the supply chain.
