The Global Seafood Alliance is currently seeking public comment on its Climate Action and Sourcing (CAS) Vanguard Standard, as part of the Best Aquaculture Practices program. Public comments will be accepted from August 17 to October 15, 2023. To submit a comment, please download and fill out the public comment response form below. Completed forms or any questions can be submitted to David Dietz, GSA Standards Coordinator, at David.Dietz@globalseafood.org.
The CAS Vanguard Standard is a Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification applicable to feed mills, farms and seafood processing facilities and was developed to address the wider footprint of farmed seafood, particularly its carbon footprint and other impacts associated with the production of feed ingredients.
The standard was designed to promote continuous improvement and incentivize producers to seek product from Vanguard certified facilities along the supply chain, which in turn will lead to increasing amounts of ingredients certified to responsible sourcing standards.”

The Standards Oversight Committee (SOC) is comprised of members with broad stakeholder representation — one-third conservation, one-third academia, and one-third industry. After review by the SOC, standards are modified, if necessary, and published for 60 days of public comment. The committee's consideration of comments leads to a final draft that must be approved by the SOC and GSA Board of Directors before implementation.
The SOC from time to time has membership vacancies in one or more stakeholder categories. We would like to invite the public to suggest nominees from any of the these categories who would be willing to serve a three-year term as members of the SOC.
For any standards related questions, comments, or concerns please contact the GSA Manager of Standards Oversight david.dietz@globalseafood.org.
