Working Above the Water
BSP’s Responsible Fishing Vessel Standard (RFVS) and Seafood Processing Standard (SPS) address gaps in assurances in the wild seafood supply chain and verify safe conditions for workers aboard vessels and at processing plants. The BSP program is the world’s only third-party certification program capable of linking certified fisheries to certified vessels and processing plants.
