Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP)

Sustainable Seafood You Can Trust

We're proud to be the first and only mussel farm in Australia to snag the globally recognised Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.

What it means to secure BAP certification

This badge of honour means we’re at the top of our game in environmental responsibility, social accountability, animal health and welfare, and food safety. So, when you tuck into our mussels, you can savour them knowing they’re produced sustainably, safely, and ethically.

The Big Picture

Earning the BAP certification isn’t just about hanging a shiny plaque on the wall. It’s a testament to our commitment to doing things right—from caring for our underwater mates to ensuring our farming practices are as clean as a whistle. For you, it means every bite of our mussels is a nod to top-notch quality and a healthier planet.

Why BAP Matters

Not all seafood is created equal, and as a consumer, it can be tricky to know if your seafood is up to scratch in terms of sustainability and ethics. The BAP standards, developed over 25 years by the Global Seafood Alliance, bring together industry leaders, academics, and NGOs to tackle big issues like environmental and social responsibility, animal health, and food safety. Endorsed by the Global Food Safety Initiative and the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative, BAP standards are the gold standard in aquaculture.

Here’s the Deal

By meeting BAP standards, we’re not just talking the talk—we’re walking the walk of world-class aquaculture. This means you can trust that our mussels are farmed with care for the environment, our workers, and, of course, you, the seafood lover.

Benefits for Retailers

As a retailer of Jervis Bay Mussels, you can proudly offer your customers a responsibly sourced Australian Blue Mussel, assuring them that their local seafood meets the highest global standards. Plus, you can showcase the BAP responsibly sourced logo alongside our mussels, adding an extra layer of trust and transparency.

What’s in It for You?

Displaying the BAP logo isn’t just for show—it tells your customers they’re choosing seafood that’s good for them and the planet. It’s a win-win: you boost your cred, and they enjoy delicious, ethically farmed mussels.
