SALT Seafood Alliance for Legality & Traceability

After six years of collaborative work to build a global community for #seafood electronic #traceability, SALT is transitioning from a USAID-funded program to be fully led by FishWise in early 2024. Follow @fishwise to continue receiving updates from us!
