The Global Aquaculture Alliance’s Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) is among the third-party seafood certification schemes that are about to undergo pilot testing against the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative’s (GSSI) updated Global Benchmark Tool.
“We are confident that GSSI will provide insight to retailers and foodservice companies of what a truly robust third-party, FAO-based certification program looks like, which will assist them tremendously as they perfect their sustainability programs,” said Peter Redmond, BAP VP of market development. “We have always believed that the BAP program has a robust environmental platform that fully embraces FAO guidelines and we believe the coming months will validate this through the pilot process.”
