The GSA is an international, nonprofit trade association headquartered in the United States that developed the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) third-party sustainable seafood certification program.
In 2018, the organization expanded its scope beyond aquaculture to include wild-capture fisheries. Last year the GSA and Alaska's Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) seafood certification program joined forces to expand their reach within wild fisheries and new markets.
GAPP's membership is comprised of Alaska pollock harvesters, community development quota (CDQ) groups and at-sea and shore-based processors. Among its member companies are Trident Seafoods, American Seafoods, Arctic Fjord/Arctic Storm, UniSea, Peter Pan Seafoods and Coastal Villages Region Fund.
