This toolkit is meant to serve as a one-stop shop for any content you might need in relation to the GAA to GSA rebrand. Here, you can find links to helpful pages, template social media posts, videos, file downloads, pictures, and more.
Our group’s evolution and growth is continuing. GAA has officially become the Global Seafood Alliance, a major turning point in our history as we seek to broaden our reach in the seafood industry. The same approach we took to building the world-leading Best Aquaculture Practices certification program – as well as our events, publications, and educational content – will be applied to an exciting new world for us with Best Seafood Practices. As we enter this new era of operations, starting with certifying responsible fishing vessels, we do so with great respect for the traditions and heritage of commercial fishing communities around the world. We hope to learn and grow alongside them.
Our name may have changed, but environmental and social responsibility in seafood remain our top priorities. Whether you have been with us on our entire journey over the past quarter-century, or you’re just getting to know us, I’d like to thank you. Thank you for helping us grow and build the Global Seafood Alliance into what it is today – and what it will become. Together we can help the global seafood industry achieve its full potential to feed the world.
All the best,
George Chamberlain, President, Global Seafood Alliance
