Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability (SALT)

The Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability (SALT) will mobilize constituencies, expertise, and other resources to promote legal, sustainable fisheries.

The program will build international capacities to use data on the movement of seafood through the supply chain to promote better fisheries management and industry self-regulation.

This public-private partnership enables efforts to prevent illegally harvested seafood from entering U.S. commerce, strengthening economic opportunities for legitimate fishers in the U.S. and globally.

SALT will work to advance transparency in fisheries and seafood supply chains, advance traceability systems that help increase worker voice, and increase transparency around fishing crew movements to counter labor abuse on fishing vessels. SALT will assert U.S. leadership by promoting food and economic security, livelihoods, and biodiversity conservation.
