Ocean
Boy Farms receives 3-star certification from
the Aquaculture Certification Council
Florida’s
Ocean Boy Farms was recently rewarded
three stars from the Aquaculture Certification
Council, a highly respected international
association which certifies aquaculture
facilities around the world using the
highest standards to measure management
organizational practices and environmental
responsibility. ACC educates the public
regarding the benefits provided by
the use of aquaculture and the science-based
technology underlying its practices.
Conscientious concern for the environment,
food safety, including traceability
throughout the production chain, and
regulatory compliance are areas in
which OceanBoy Farms far exceeded the
standards set by the ACC. According
to the ACC inspector who recently scrutinized
OceanBoy Farms' two large facilities
(Little Cypress Farm and La Belle Farm,
both located in southern Florida),
OceanBoy Farms is one of the best organized
and best regulated shrimp farms he
has ever encountered in his international
experience in the shrimp farming industry.
OceanBoy Farms also received the ACC
Best Aquaculture Practices Logo (BAP)
and is allowed to use the designation
on its products.
