SEAFOOD2030
ABOUT THE SEAFOOD2030 CONECT
Seafood2030 is a group of people who represent key stakeholders in the global seafood industry. These include: trade organisations, NGOs, regulatory bodies, funders, and conservation specialists. Our goal is to research areas of needed transformation of the global seafood industry and propose ways of achieving them. We are working to develop seafood systems that support equitable relationships with seafood dependent communities and the oceans.

SEAFOOD2030...
1. Identifies and convenes experts with relevant expertise...
...to explore areas of needed transformation.
2. Designs transformative approaches...
...that are practical and able to be implemented
3. Deploys the values of systems and transformative thinking.
To truly transform, the seafood industry must see itself as a system, wchih supports healthy oceans, healthy labor and communities and more sustainable global food systems.
4. Supports implementation...
...of a more coherent sustainability system in seafood.
THE VISION
"We hope to achieve steps towards a transformed seafood industry system that supports healthy oceans, healthy labor and communities, and more sustainable global food systems. To do this, our intention is to increase the sphere of influence of sustainable seafood stakeholders to address issues like plastics, climate change, fair labor practices, illegal fishing and weak governance and to increase the sphere of influence to drive the uptake of sustainable practices deeper into the seafood industry."
Seafood2030 as a CoNECT
Acting as an exemplar
"We believe that what we are trying to achieve at Seafood2030 is a worthwhile contribution into the bigger picture of what Bounce Beyond is itself trying to achieve. We would like to connect with other initiatives within Bounce Beyond, with whom we can resonate, and learn together how we might tackle the global issues. Bounce Beyond provides an excellent platform for us to develop next economy strategies that resonate with all stakeholders".
Futures Thinking
Our starting point with Bounce Beyond is to work with futures thinking to build a shared view of:
- a current global seafood system and its needed transformation
- a future where the seafood system is fully sustainable and harmonised with the planet
- to inform our strategy of how we might enable transformation from the current global seafood industry, to a fully sustainable one.
