Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) operates a nonprofit, independent certification program for the aquaculture sector, providing third-party assessments across farms, processing facilities, and related stages of the supply chain to promote environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability in seafood production. It is based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and has been active since 2002. As a small- to mid-sized nonprofit, it works with participants across the global aquaculture supply chain to verify responsible farming practices. The program serves producers and other supply-chain actors pursuing credible certification and, through collaborations, supports transparency and accountability in the industry. It has engaged in partnerships to promote traceability in seafood supply chains. In March 2026 it launched the Seafood You Can Trust marketing toolkit to help retailers and foodservice operators communicate about responsibly sourced seafood at the point of purchase.
