By invertebrate welfare as a cause area, I mean all invertebrates (particularly marine crustaceans and insects^[1]), whether farmed or wild. Thus, this cause area includes:

The Insect Institute (as Insect Welfare Project) got a $45k movement grant from ACE in June 2022. Shrimp Welfare Project got a $40k grant in the same round.

(I could be wrong but I think Insect Welfare Project was the working name of the Insect Institute prior to February 2023?)
