The "Global Aquaculture Alliance" is an international, nonprofit trade association dedicated to advancing environmentally responsible aquaculture. GAA recognizes that aquaculture -- the culture and farming of fish, shellfish and other aquatic organisms -- is the only sustainable means of increasing seafood supply to meet growing food needs. As its top goal, GAA is working to finalize the Responsible Aquaculture Program of certifiable standards for responsible aquaculture. At program completion, participants will achieve GAA certification and licensed use of a special certification mark.
