Mures Tasmania Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

Sustainability has always been a key part of the Mures mission, long before it was part of the current social issues that we face today. When Jill and George Mure first established Mures Fish House in 1973, they campaigned for the advancement of ecologically friendly fishing methods. Their values and ethos still inform the operational practices of our business to this day. We are now a Sustainable Tourism Accredited Business and our commitment extends well beyond pure fishing methodologies. We continually explore the integration of eco-friendly practices in each department of the business, as well as providing educational opportunities for schools. The importance of the work we do now will protect our oceans and environment for our future generations.

MSC & ASC Chain of Custody

In March 2020, Mures Tasmania became the first independent retailer in Tasmania, and only the second restaurant in Australia to achieve Chain of Custody Certification for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified products. Mures has always strived to source seafood from well-managed, sustainable fisheries. This certification allows our business to actively source and promote MSC and ASC products to sell through our fishmongers and restaurants. MSC and ASC are considered the highest global standard for responsibly managed wild fisheries and farmed seafood. MSC and ASC share a vision that global seafood supplies should be sustainable, responsibly managed and supported by secure supply chains. Our customers can now make an informed decision on which product they wish to purchase, be it fresh from our fishmonger or when they dine in one of our restaurants. Look for the blue MSC ecolabel and green ASC ecolabel on your seafood to ensure we have a future full of fish!
