20 Aquatic Animal Law Initiative Mission Statement The Aquatic Animal Law Institute (AALI) works to protect and promote the interests of aquatic animals by: Advocating on their behalf through the legal system; Promoting their value to the public by providing education about their cognitive, emotional, and physiological capacities; and Harmonizing human, animal, and environmental interests.

21 Need for AALI Aquatic animals are generally left out of the legal frameworks of protection and regulation Too little understanding about the environmental, public health, consumer, and worker safety issues associated with production, transportation, slaughter, processing, breeding, testing, exhibition, and other activities No organization dedicated to legal analysis of these issues Without research and consideration of the scientific, economic, and legal contours of these matters, policy development is necessarily constrained and poorly informed Without explicit exploration of these issues, opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration and problem-solving are lost

22 Good for animals Learn not to think of them as instrumentalities Consider their needs, what is natural Good for nature and the environment Work to better understand the whole system Consider individuals within, and apart from, the whole Good for people More deeply consider what it is to be human, and to be a part of nature rather than in control of, or isolated from, it
