Help Us Win Funding for Aquatic Animal Welfare :peixe: :polvo: :camarão: – Vote for ALI in Project for Awesome!

We have an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on aquatic animal welfare, and we need your support to make it happen! Aquatic Life Institute has entered the Project for Awesome election, and we’re asking for your vote to help us secure funding that will allow us to continue our critical work in advocating for the rights of aquatic animals.Why Vote for ALI?


By voting for ALI, you’re helping us bring much-needed attention to the forgotten billions—the fish, octopuses, and crustaceans who suffer silently in our food systems. Aquatic animals are often overlooked, but they are sentient beings who deserve protection from the cruelty they endure in industrial fishing and aquaculture. This funding will help us:
 

  1. Shine a light on the suffering of aquatic animals, from the farms to the fisheries, and show why they deserve the same consideration as other animals in the food system.
  2. Ban inhumane practices and prevent the expansion of cruel industries like farmed octopus, which have no place in our sustainable food future.
  3. Drive global policy change, advocating for the rights of aquatic animals and challenging industry norms to create a food system that respects all living beings, while also being more sustainable and ethical.

Cities across Europe are stepping up for climate, health, and animal protection. Alcorcón, El Masnou, and Parla in Spain, Grenoble in France, and Campolide in Portugal have recently endorsed the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to cut food emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Their commitments include: * Piloting plant-based meals in public dining halls and city facilities, and banning land use changes for animal agriculture (Alcorcón) * Requiring at least 50% plant-based catering at municipal events (El Masnou) * Prioritizing plant-based food in public procurement and developing a local sustainable food strategy, including plant-based menus in school cafeterias, day centres and residencies (Parla) * Increasing plant-based options in canteens and at events, and promoting initiatives such as Veganuary (Grenoble) * Organizing community-based plant-based cooking workshops and running educational programs in schools to raise awareness of food system impacts and encourage dietary shifts (Campolide)   To date, 45 cities globally have endorsed the Plant Based Treaty, and with your support, our teams are transforming food policy one city at a time as we build momentum to secure our first country endorsement.
