Project summary
The Aquatic Animal Alliance (AAA) is a high-impact global coalition, strategically mobilizing the strengths of the animal protection movement to alleviate the suffering of some of the most neglected species—aquatic animals—exploited within the industrial global food system. With over 150 member organizations across 75 countries, AAA operates as a central hub, catalyzing collaboration and innovation to influence key stakeholders, including policymakers, corporations, and seafood certification standards.
Led by Aquatic Life Institute, AAA is a pivotal community-building initiative that magnifies the collective impact of its members by providing technical expertise and leadership in global and local campaigns. This approach not only generates substantial global impact but also empowers regional and local efforts driven by member organizations.
