ASC (Aquaculture Sustainability Council)

The Aquaculture Sustainability Council (ASC) is an organization focused on promoting responsible fish farming practices worldwide. It sets standards to ensure that seafood is produced in environmentally friendly and socially responsible ways. By certifying farms that meet these standards, the ASC helps consumers identify sustainably sourced seafood. This certification not only protects aquatic ecosystems but also supports local communities and promotes fair treatment of workers. Overall, the ASC aims to make aquaculture more sustainable, ensuring that fish farming can meet global demand without harming the planet or its people.
