The seafood industry faces serious and complicated issues, such as biodiversity loss and the need for workers' well-being. The TSSS is one of the largest events in Asia where experience and knowledge to solve these issues are shared to achieve sustainability and equity in the seafood industry.
Since its launch in 2015, the TSSS has brought together nearly 400 front-running speakers from various sectors across the world. This year, the organizers will focus on IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishery, human rights issues, traceability and ESG investment.
With its new 2030 goal "Win the mainstream," let’s make the seafood industry more sustainable, together.
