Yumbah Aquaculture has confirmed the delivery of an Australian aquaculture first, becoming the country’s first oyster producer to earn Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.
Achieving BAP certification involved a rigorous, independent assessment of Yumbah’s operations – from water quality and stock care to traceability and ethical labour practices. Yumbah’s oyster farms at Boomer Bay, Eaglehawk Neck and St Helens have all been certified through this process.
Yumbah said that while these standards have long been part of its DNA, the BAP certification delivers powerful third- party validation for customers, partners and stakeholders, reinforcing confidence in the quality and sustainability of every oyster grown.
Yumbah CEO David Wood said the certification reinforces the company’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility across all areas of its operations.
“Becoming the first oyster producer in the country to achieve BAP certification is a proud moment for Yumbah,” he said. “It reflects the work of our staff who keep the business at the forefront of responsible seafood, delivering premium Australian oysters to the world. It’s a great way to show the standards we work towards every day, producing oysters responsibly and sustainably.”
Yumbah Aquaculture is also a leading producer of abalone ans mussels.
