Eco-label for Oregons Dungeness crab

Oregon’s Dungeness crab harvest for the 2009-2010 season was 10,521 tonnes, valued at $44.8 million.

The iconic Oregon Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) fishery operating off the US west coast has secured Marine Stewardship Council certification following independent assessment to the NGOs standard for sustainable fisheries. Products from the fishery are now eligible to bear the eco-label.
