Global need
By 2030, 62% of all seafood produced for human consumption will come from aquaculture. Today it is more than 50 percent.
Sustainable and healthy approaches to feeding the world's growing population are more critical now than ever before.
As wild fisheries have reached their harvest capacity, aquaculture, or fish farming, is needed so that future generations can enjoy the seafood we do today.
We ensure it's done responsibly.
Our Mission
To be the most trusted certification for farm-raised seafood.
The Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) is the voice of the
aquaculture industry.
As part of GAA, BAP ensures aquaculture is done responsibly
through its third-party certification program.
A world that embraces and enables the role of responsibly
farmed seafood in meeting global nutrition needs.
By 2030, 62% of all seafood produced for human consumption will come from aquaculture. Today it is more than 50 percent.
Aquaculture is the most resource-efficient animal protein.
By 2050, the demand for animal protein will increase by 52%.
