ABOUT THE SEAFOOD2030 CONECT

Research on global food systems shows that seafood is an important protein for future health, food security for millions of people, and an essential element in improving the sustainability of our global food systems. At the same time seafood has serious challenges to address. These include forced labor, weak governance, illegal fishing, and impacts on healthy ocean ecosystems. Our oceans and seafood face complex issues and adaptive strategies are inadequate to address the challenges. We need to develop transformational strategies that move us from a position of “doing less harm” to being a “driver for positive change”. This shift will impact billions of lives, as well as millions of livelihoods. Seafood2030 has been formed to specifically address these imperatives. 

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.

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".
