GAA, BAP Makes a Splash at Seafood Expo North America
Craig Anderson (at left), CEO of The Scottish Salmon Company, accepts a Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certificate from Mike Berthet, BAP’s market development manager for Europe. Just prior to SENA 2018, The Scottish Salmon Company became Scotland’s first salmon producer to be awarded BAP certification, which it received for all its marine farm sites.
GAA Membership Manager Becky Holt (at left) and GAA Executive Director Wally Stevens (second from left) catches up with the de Koning family of Acadia Aqua Farms in Maine, subjects of Episode Two of GAA Films, “A Jump Across the Atlantic.”
Jennifer Wiper, Cooke Aquaculture's corporate sustainability manager, holds up a “We Proudly Support BAP” sign at Cooke’s exhibit. Cooke is capable of offering four-star BAP Atlantic salmon, as the majority of its salmon processing plants, farms, hatcheries and feed mills in Atlantic Canada and Maine are BAP certified.
Camanchaca, which markets the Pier 33 Gourmet, is also capable of offering four-star BAP salmon from Chile. Pictured is Camanchaca Marketing Manager Maria Valido.
It was easy to find the BAP logo on the show floor at SENA 2018, including on these shrimp samples.
Here’s to all who braved the blizzard and stuck out Day 3 of SENA. Safe travels back home from Boston. BAP’s mascot, Scampi, wasn’t so lucky!
The 2019 edition of SENA will take place from March 17 to 19. We hope to see you there!
Once again this year, the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) exhibited at Seafood Expo North America (SENA).
