We’re a coalition of advocates who believe aquatic animals should have lives free of suffering

OUR STORY

Created by the Aquatic Life Institute, the Aquatic Animal Alliance is a coalition of advocacy organizations who believe aquatic animals should have lives free of suffering. We want to set welfare standards for aquatic animals as high as possible and we believe the best way to achieve this goal is as a coalition. We are a coalition of the largest animal welfare organizations and are proud to say that together, we have created the first and most comprehensive guide on what welfare means for aquatic animals. Right now, the concept of what constitutes “higher welfare” aquatic animal products is somewhat of a blank canvas worldwide. It has yet to be concretely defined by the public, industry, animal welfare organizations, or most governments. We see this as a unique moment to define what a more humanely raised and slaughtered aquatic animal product is. And we need to act swiftly and strategically if we are going to help improve the lives of trillions of animals. Through working together as the Aquatic Animal Alliance we aim to define what welfare should be and work with certifiers to increase their standards.
