Steering Groups
Each FIP has a dedicated Steering Group representing stakeholders with a vested interest in the fishery’s performance.
An independent consultant works with the group to develop and deliver the FIP Action Plan, which aims to enable the fishery to reach the best practice level that would meet the MSC Fisheries Standard.
Together, these stakeholders work collaboratively to inform, support and contribute to the success of the FIP, taking a direct role in the implementation of FIP Action Plans. Several FIPs are now chaired by Steering Group members, with the aim that as the FIPs progress, more industry members will move into the chair role; others are chaired by the Secretariat. Details of each Steering Group can be found on its associated FIP page.
