AIP Pilot Implementation - Public Summary Report of Lessons Learned | ASC

This report summarizes the key lessons learnt by each of the key stakeholder groups from participation in the ASC Improver Programme pilot. The ASC standards set principles, criteria, indicators, and measurable performance levels for environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture. However, producers carry the responsibility to implement these standards at their farms, where smaller operations may have financial or technical constraints. The ASC IP helps bridge this gap by increasing accessibility to ASC certification or to improve aquaculture to more responsible practices at these small or less technical operations. The ASC IP is comprised of a set of procedures and tools to ensure that ASC standards or best practice improvements are consistently and effectively implemented by the producers.
