BAP Certification

By implementing Best Aquaculture Practices standards, program participants can better meet the demands of the growing global market for wholesome seafood produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

Get Certified

Please review the Certification Process page for directions on how to apply for Best Aquaculture Practices certification.

Program applicants initially review and complete an application to enter the BAP program. Once accepted, facilities must undergo a site inspection and present specified production records for traceability for at least three months. After successful inspection, facilities pay a certification fee based on total annual seafood production volume.
