For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling.

Knowing where your seafood comes from is crucial. An opaque supply chain enables illegal fishing, fraud, health risks, and human trafficking, threatening oceans and consumers. Traceability, by tracking fish from boat to plate, ensures transparency and accountability, making seafood safe, legal, and honestly labeled.
