“Atlantic Capes Fisheries is an early supporter of the BSP program because we believe in GSA’s vision and see value in one organization providing assurances for both the wild and farmed seafood supply chains. By attaining certification of our processing plants, sourcing from responsible fisheries and starting the certification process of our vessels, we have greater access to the marketplace and demonstrate to our customers that we use safe and responsible practices.”
Matthew Grolnic
Director of Quality Assurance, Atlantic Capes Fisheries
“Most importantly, all of us in the company can hold our heads up and confidently say that we are doing the right thing. We’re doing it safely and we’re doing it fairly and we’ve got a respected international organization providing us with the certificate to prove it.”

Managing Director of Australian Longline Fishing
“British fish continues to be the backbone of our range, and we’re thrilled to see Lunar and Tait vessels achieve RFVS certification. This acts as another significant step to give continued assurance to customers that what they put in their baskets has been sourced responsibly and from well-managed vessels where crew welfare and safety is central to their success.”

Aquaculture and Fisheries Manager at Waitrose
“At H-E-B, providing assurances to our valued customers that our seafood is produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner is of utmost importance. The Best Seafood Practices program connects responsible wild-capture fisheries with certification standards that address social accountability and worker voice aboard fishing vessels as well as environmental and social responsibility and food safety in seafood processing plants. These are the types of business-driven solutions that we’re looking for at H-E-B.”
Jason Driskill
Director of Seafood at H-E-B
“We value our relationship with the Global Seafood Alliance and commend their continued commitment to expanding seafood certification programs. The Best Seafood Practices program can provide the third-party assurances that companies like US Foods can use to support ongoing responsibly sourced seafood programs, and we look forward to exploring these opportunities.”
Jennifer Wandler
Senior Director of Category Management-Seafood US Foods
“Red Lobster is proud to share and support Global Seafood Alliance’s commitment to creating and upholding seafood sourcing standards that ensure availability of seafood for generations. That’s why we’re so excited for the Best Seafood Practices program. Its rigorous, science-based approach provides meaningful third-party assurances to help inform and guide seafood sourcing decisions as well as educate consumers about good seafood choices.”
