Setting The Standard for Seafood
Around 60% of the seafood eaten around the world is farmed. Seafood farming is a large, growing industry with a significant global impact and must be handled with great responsibility and care. It is one of our biggest opportunities to feed a growing population responsibly.
The most robust and relevant standards, with care for people and the planet
