SALT’s fourth year is wrapped, and what a year! What made this past year so successful was launching seafood Traceability Principles, and the interest and praise it generated. That work arose from the momentum of the previous three years, and also included field-based work completed by local partners in other countries, and original content developed to plug knowledge gaps in traceability implementation. Most notably, SALT was extended to a sixth year, which helps continue that momentum in relationship building. Overall, SALT's fourth year was the most impactful year to date.
