The Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability (SALT) was launched in 2017 as a six-year public-private partnership between USAID and the Packard, Moore, and Walton Family Foundations and implemented by FishWise. FishWise now carries the services and community created by SALT.
What is SALT?
SALT is a global community of governments, the seafood industry, and non-governmental organizations working together to share ideas and collaborate on solutions for legal and sustainable seafood, with a particular focus on electronic traceability. SALT acknowledged there are many obstacles the governments and industry have faced when adopting a digital traceability system. Through research, interviews, and in-country partner work, SALT identified the major barriers and created tools to help implement electronic traceability.
