November 7, 2023 — The first fully in-person Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit (TSSS) in four years – after online-only events throughout the Covid-19 pandemic – ran from 17 to 19 October, and the event highlighted human rights issues in the seafood supply chain in the wake of the bombshell Outlaw Ocean Project report on 9 October.
Since its inception in 2015, the event, co-hosted and financially supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation, has served as a networking platform for seafood companies and environmental NGOs to share ideas and discuss solutions to sustainability issues the industry is facing.
