 The workshop is being held with the participation of MSC international experts from Norway and Russia, the management and experts of the Fisheries Research and Production Center, scientific specialists, representatives of the Fisheries Association and other interested non-governmental organizations.

 During the meeting, issues related to the system of state regulation of fishing, ensuring the sustainability of fish stocks and preserving the natural aquatic ecosystems of Lake Balkhash are discussed.

 Also, the results of the preliminary audit report on the Comprehensive assessment of the fishing of walleye, bersh and catfish by RYBPROM on Lake Balkhash, performed by experts of ControlUnion (Great Britain) within the framework of MSC certification, are presented.

 MSC certification is held in our country for the first time and opens up new opportunities to improve the status of the Republic of Kazakhstan in matters of Sustainable development, increase the investment attractiveness of the fishing industry and the image of Kazakhstan’s fish products on world markets.

 For reference: The Marine Stewardship Council (English: Marine Stewardship Council, abbreviated MSC, in Russian – MPS) is an international independent non-profit organization that sets standards for sustainable fishing to solve the global problem of overfishing, leading to the depletion of world fish stocks. The MSC mark on the products guarantees that fish and seafood come only from legitimate and environmentally responsible fisheries that care about the conservation of marine biological resources.
