Our Team
Shrimp Welfare Project is an organisation of people who believe that shrimp welfare is critical to sustainability to enable thriving businesses, a healthy society and a sustainable environment.
We also believe that shrimps are capable of suffering and deserve our moral consideration.
In 2021, SWP was launched by Charity Entrepreneurship, a charity incubator that provided our seed funding. Since then, we've built a small and dedicated team to work on several areas, including corporate engagement, farmer support, research, and raising issue salience.
