Improving shrimp welfare across global supply chains requires collaboration, a shared understanding of the science and practical guidance to help the industry translate commitments into meaningful action. But with a growing number of initiatives, programmes and resources available, where should the industry begin?
To help stakeholders navigate these resources and support progress, the Global Shrimp Forum Foundation has developed Animal Welfare Initiatives, a resource kit bringing together a wide range of initiatives, programmes and tools focused on improving animal welfare across shrimp supply chains.
Designed as a one-stop shop for industry stakeholders, the resource kit aims to encourage greater knowledge sharing, collaboration and collective action, helping the industry build on existing efforts and turn scientific insights into practical improvements in shrimp welfare.
The resource kit was developed in connection with the Derisking Seafood Supply Chains session at the Global Shrimp Forum 2026, which brought together leading retailers and foodservice representatives from Europe and North America to explore animal welfare challenges and opportunities. The discussions also informed a new project commissioned by the Global Shrimp Forum Foundation, focused on supporting the practical implementation of humane shrimp slaughter, with the aim of presenting its outcomes at GSF2027.
