What is BAP Certification?
The Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) retail-level certification mark is a trademark of the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) that is licensed to the Aquaculture Certification Council (ACC) for use only by BAP-certified facilities. Certified facilities may use this certification mark on retail packaging only if it contains shrimp farmed and/or processed in accordance with BAP, as affirmed by site inspections and auditing procedures implemented by the ACC. BAP is a baseline standard for independent site inspections and effluent sampling with added protection for land and soil offering sanitary controls, therapeutic controls and traceability.
