Backed by major donors and a conservation NGO, the Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability will improve transparency in seafood supply chains and promote sustainable fisheries

Denver, Colorado – The following statement is from Ted Kowalski, director of the Colorado River initiative at the Walton Family Foundation, in support of the U.S.-Mexico Colorado River agreement announced today:

Remarks by Barry Gold from the Memorandum of Understanding Signing Ceremony

$35 million investment will support urgent restoration priorities in the Colorado River Basin and Mississippi River Delta

Foundation approach leverages 20 years of sustainable seafood movement successes

Commitment is part of the pledge drive for the Chatfield Reservoir Environmental Pool

USAID and Walton Family Foundation Partnership Will Protect Indonesia's Fisheries and Marine Biodiversity

Sustainably managed fisheries could generate additional $2.3 billion in revenue for fishing communities

At the Walton Family Foundation, we believe conservation solutions that make economic sense are the ones that stand the test of time. Our mission is to improve lives and secure healthy ocean and river ecosystems by aligning environmental, social and economic interests.

The Walton Family Foundation is pleased to announce that Monica Medina is joining the environment program as deputy director, effective May 31. In this capacity, Monica will also direct the oceans initiative, which invests in the Americas—the United States, Mexico, Chile and Peru—and Indonesia to end overfishing, improve ocean health and preserve coastal livelihoods. Monica Medina most recently served as the senior director of international ocean policy at the National Geographic Society.
