A day in the life of a Shetland mussel fisherman

Do you know what it takes to sustainably harvest mussels? Watch a day in the life of Kenny Pottinger, a mussel fisherman of 18 years, harvesting mussels in Shetland’s pristine waters.
Kenny's mussel fishery is MSC certified as sustainable and well-managed. This means he has proven he leaves enough mussels in the sea so the population remains healthy, he doesn't cause unnecessary damage to the environment and the fishery is well-managed.
MSC is on a mission to end overfishing and MSC certified fisheries, like this one, help achieve this mission. You can do your part by choosing seafood with the MSC blue fish label.
