Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) is a third party certification program encompassing all aspects of the aquaculture process; from the hatchery and feed mill to the farm and processing plant. Beaver Street Fisheries is committed to sustainability and responsible sourcing. We work closely with our supply chain partners to embrace strategies to support the ever-growing need for responsible seafood from around the world. We do this by working with standard-setting organizations like the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA), whose practices are internationally recognized as a means for ensuring that the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) are used to meet the growing demand for aquaculture seafood.
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an organization that promotes sustainable fishing practices through their fishery certification program worldwide. MSC certification relies on three main principles; the sustainability of wild fish stocks, the environmental impact and how effectively the fishery is managed. Seafood sold with the MSC logo can be traced from the store that sold it to a certified sustainable fishery. Beaver Street Fisheries continues to support MSC certified fisheries in order to provide our customers with the best quality sustainable seafood.
