The British Baltic Fishery Protection Service (BBFPS) was a front organization of the British intelligence service MI6. It was founded in 1949 - ostensibly to monitor the fisheries within the maritime borders of the British occupation zone in the Baltic Sea as a part of the Royal Navy, but in reality to carry out covert operations in the Baltic region.{{cite journal |last1=Hess |first1=Sigurd |title=The Clandestine Operations of Hans Helmut Klose and the British Baltic Fishery Protection Service (BBFPS) 1945-1956 |journal=The Journal of Intelligence History |year=2001 |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=169–178 |publisher=LIT Verlag Münster |doi=10.1080/16161262.2001.10555054 |isbn=9783825806439 |s2cid=162499902 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HXYAGisbPZUC&pg=PA169 }}
