Direct and Indirect Benefits of Eco-Certification

The fact sheet details how eco-certification helps fisheries avoid revenue loss, improve public image, and ensure long-term stock stability and predictable income. It highlights a specific case in Manitoba where returns on investment are estimated between CAD 16 and CAD 250 for every CAD 1 invested.

• Eco-certification helps fisheries maintain existing markets that require certification and potentially open access to new markets, thereby preventing revenue loss.
• In Manitoba, the estimated economic return for a fishery obtaining eco-certification ranges from CAD 16 to CAD 250 for every CAD 1 invested, varying by lake size and specifications.
• Eco-certification provides long-term stability for fish stocks and income, improves public image and consumer support, and offers a structured framework with clear goals for maintaining sustainability.
