Who We Are

One billion people worldwide rely on seafood as their primary source of protein. The Best Seafood Practices program addresses gaps in the wild seafood supply chain, with standards that cover the fishing vessel and processing plant.

Where Advocacy
Meets Assurances

The Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) is an international nonprofit trade association dedicated to advancing responsible seafood practices through advocacy, education, and third-party assurances.

The BSP program provide assurances for safe working conditions aboard vessels as well as for responsible practices at processing plants.

BAP ensures that aquaculture is practiced responsibly through a robust third-party certification program that covers the entire production chain.
