Aquaculture Certification Council

The Aquaculture Certification Council (ACC) is an organization that sets standards for the responsible farming of aquatic species, such as fish and shrimp. Its goal is to ensure that these practices are environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and economically viable. The ACC certifies farms that meet its criteria, helping consumers identify products that are farmed responsibly. This certification assures buyers that the seafood they purchase supports ethical practices and contributes to healthier oceans and communities. By promoting best practices in aquaculture, the ACC plays a crucial role in advancing sustainable food production in the face of growing global demand.
