2025 Half-Year Report

At Aquatic Life Institute, we believe that in order to truly safeguard aquatic animals, we must transform the very systems that shape their lives. In 2025, we set a new course, refining how we articulate our purpose and how we activate advancements along our path to impact.

Aquatic Life Institute stands at the forefront of a rapidly evolving field where aquatic animal welfare is no longer an afterthought, but a driving force behind food system transformation.

Our 2025 Half-Year Report explores ALI’s newly defined sphere of influence and our process for impact measurement through the stages of Recognition, Protection, and Prioritization - all illustrated through several detailed case studies.

From scientific thought leadership and movement-building to corporate and policy reform, our work this year has not only elevated aquatic animals on the global agenda, but also positioned ALI as a trusted agent of change. In the months ahead, we will continue to translate recognition into protection and protection into prioritization, ensuring welfare is woven into the structures that govern seafood production.

As we prepare for the upcoming release of our 2025 Benchmark, continued GDST engagement, and new opportunities for impact across public, private, and policy spheres, we invite partners, funders, and advocates to join us in this critical work. Together, we can turn ripples of progress into waves of systemic change for aquatic animals and for the future of food.

This movement is gaining momentum, but we can’t do it alone. Join us in building a food system that respects all animals. Donate today and help us scale this movement where it matters most—beneath the surface.
