The National Science Foundation awarded Loyola Marymount University a $749,599 project grant under the Integrative Activities program to develop an Innovative Seafood Traceability Network. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
The Network aims to create a blockchain-based traceability system for seafood supply chains. This will allow producers, distributors, and consumers to track seafood from harvest to market. The technology is intended to support sustainable fishing practices, improve market access for fishermen, and enhance the blue economy. By increasing transparency in seafood supply chains, the Network could help promote responsible stewardship of ocean resources and the livelihoods of coastal communities. The project aligns with the Integrative Activities program's goals of building critical infrastructure to strengthen the nation's science and engineering enterprise.
