Seafood2030 Virtual Sustainability Forum
Designing a Global Sustainable Seafood System

Please join SeafoodSource and Seafood2030 for a free Virtual Event that will include a series of dialogues assessing our collective impact on IUU, Fair Labor, National Management & International Governance, and Sustainable Financing.

Over the last 20 years, a robust landscape of marketplace tools, sustainability initiatives and programs have developed globally to support industry adoption of sustainable practices and product. These efforts have been successful addressing the worst environmental impacts, labor practices and supply chain pain points in seafood. Now these disparate efforts are aligning into a coherent sustainable seafood system -- increasing the collective impact of all stakeholders and the opportunity to bring about real change in the industry.

This event will evaluate how well the collective efforts of the sustainable seafood system to address IUU, Fair Labor, National Management & International Governance and Sustainable Finance and identify ways to improve how we work.

Day 1 of the program will provide an evaluation of sustainable seafood efforts from industry leaders and issue experts and Day 2 will be an opportunity for participants to provide input and identify strategies to support a more effective support system for a sustainable seafood industry.

Four reasons to join:

01.

Better understand the developing sustainable seafood system and how it relates to your work and business

02.

 Learn about the initiatives, collaborations, and partnerships that are laying the foundation for a coherent system of impact for the future of seafood

03.

Ensure that your voice is included in designing the future of seafood

04.

Network with global stakeholders working toward a more sustainable seafood industry

Day 1, Evaluating System Success in Addressing

9:30am – 11:00 am EST
Fisheries Management

Tools including certification, fishery improvement projects and pre-competitive collaborations like The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership’s supplier roundtables have had a significant impact on driving better management in fisheries across the globe. Many of the remaining unsustainable fisheries can use traditional market-based tools but will also require additional actors and strategies to drive responsible management and reach a target of 75% of global fisheries sustainably managed. Using Ecuador Small Pelagics management as an example, this session will look at how to ensure our collective strategy to improve fisheries management efficiently and effectively addresses the new challenges in front of us.

Illegal Fishing and Supply Chain Transparency

A combination of technology, government action and enforcement, and marketplace initiatives are developing into a coherent and effective system to address IUU fishing. While more work needs to be done in all of these areas, coordinated supply chain traceability and transparency remains a weak link to impact IUU and other supply chain risk.

Finance

Developing a system that drives sustainable financing in fisheries is a challenge that seems to touch on so many other challenges in seafood – a lack of data and traceability, fragmented supply chains, the challenge of engaging small-scale producers, environmental and social risk, and markets and economic models that do not provide fair and equitable distribution of resources throughout the supply chain. Despite this collection of hurdles there are opportunities and lessons learned to help guide a more effective system of finance to support responsible and sustainable practices and production in seafood. This session will discuss some of the work in seafood that can be built upon, opportunities for greater impact and lessons learned.
