Mission Statement
To cost-effectively improve the lives of billions of shrimps
About This Cause
First organization focusing exclusively on the welfare of shrimps. A significant part of our work involves collaborating with relevant stakeholders along the supply chain. Our main goal is the Humane Slaughter Initiative, which aims to promote the adoption of electrical stunning technology in the shrimp industry. As part of this initiative, we make agreements to purchase electrical stunners for certain producers, who commit to stun a minimum of ~100,000,000 shrimps per year. Additionally, our work involves dialogues with retailers to encourage them to publish welfare/responsible sourcing policies. We are working with farmers to directly improve shrimp welfare in their farms. To achieve this, we launched Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India (SSFI), a platform and community for like-minded shrimp farmers. It provides a space for knowledge sharing and collaboration. It also offers services such as water quality checks, farm visits by technicians, and online consultations through a WhatsApp-based system. We actively work on a number of research projects. This allows us to explore and address some of our key uncertainties. As a result, we are able to produce reports that communicate our findings to a broader audience. Finally, a significant part of our work is to raise awareness about shrimp welfare through conferences, podcasts, and articles in the shrimp industry, animal welfare, and Effective Altruism spaces. We also collaborate with other organizations in this field, such as EuroGroup for Animals and the Aquatic Animal Alliance.
