Our approach
We work with scientists, conservation groups, NGOs, aquaculture producers, seafood processors, retail and foodservice companies and consumers to recognise and reward responsible aquaculture.
Why certify aquaculture
Meeting the challenge of feeding a growing global population.
What makes us different?
Our robust programme is built on a set of core principles.
Collaboration
We cannot achieve our mission on our own.
Our standards
Our standards for responsible aquaculture address the key environmental impacts of aquaculture.
Programme improvements
We are continuously working on improving our standards and supporting framework.
Group certification
Helping small-scale farmers implement responsible practices.
New Standards & Reviews
New standards are being developed for feed, flatfish and tropical marine finfish; and for an aligned standard based on the current farm standards. Reviews are also under way for the Shrimp, Freshwater trout, Pangasius and Salmon (PTI, Smolt) standards.

How we make a difference
