The need for fishery products that are healthy, safe, legal, and sustainable to increase. This makes the export destination country require a certificate issued by an institution. One of the standards used by such countries is the MSC ecolabel. MSC ecolabel is an endorsement of a product that meets the criteria of environmental sustainability procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an assessment related to the application of MSC ecolabels in the Sibolga tuna processing industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of gap analysis and the suitability of the application of the MSC ecolabel and examine various inhibiting factors. This research was conducted using survey methods and FGD with industry and the government. The analysis used was qualitative descriptive analysis, gap analysis, and conformity level analysis. The research results show that the level of conformity in MSC CoC ( Chain of Custody) for its principles is highly non-compliant with the standard (0%), while for its criteria, it is almost compliant with the standard (71.32%). Meanwhile, the conformity level in MSC fisheries indicates a very low level of compliance with the standard (39%). Policy recommendations provided include the formulation of a harvest strategy for tuna in WPP 572, strengthening and implementing measurable fisheries, and formulating a Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) policy.
