I’m really happy that the Shrimp Welfare Project exists. Listening to their 80K podcast gave me the most “classic EA” warm fuzzy feelings I’ve had in a while. I think it speaks really highly of CE that they incubated a project like that, and of other EA funders that they’ve helped support it.
I agree—it was a real priority for us to not have a curled shrimp in our logo (which was tricky!) for this reason. And you’re right, most shrimps that are farmed are whiteish or brownish (though there are over 2,000 species of shrimps, and some are very colourful!).
I am joining you with appreciation for Shrimp Welfare Project. I work for CE so I am biased but I am also an animal activist for 22 years now, and I think it’s incredible how quickly this charity moved from concept to potential impact. Just signing an agreement that will make them reach 125 million animals per year is incredible: https://www.shrimpwelfareproject.org/post/mou-with-mer-seafood They have further collaborations in progress. It will be probably the first organization ever to impact billions of animals in a short time span (the org was just launched in September 2021 :)

Also this comment was just pure <3 for me:
