A Special Report to celebrate the 10th Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit was released! Seafood Legacy and Nikkei Business Publications are pleased to jointly release the report, The Trajectory and Future Outlook of the Sustainable Seafood Movement. https://lnkd.in/d3MBDJFT

The Responsible seafood summit took place in Scotland. The next day after the three-day summit, we went on a field trip to a nearby port town. We visited three places, first to a natural salt factory, then to a harbor fishing town to see where lobsters and crabs are fished, and finally to a historical museum of the Scottish fishing industry. The Scottish people are descended from the Celts and the Vikings, who later raided Scotland. Like Japan, Scotland is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so the culture of seafarers developed in Scotland. This Summit was not only a great opportunity to interact with people from all over the world, but also to experience the actual fishing grounds and the revolutionary technology used in fisheries, which was a great learning experience for me!

At the ongoing Responsible Seafood Summit in Scotland, the third day featured presentations focused on shrimp welfare, along with production and import/export volumes of seafood by country. In the afternoon session, Wakayao Hanaoka, CEO of Seafood Legacy, took the stage to express his desire to pass Japan’s esteemed seafood heritage to future generations. He elaborated on Seafood Legacy’s initiatives, dividing them into three key areas: policy, market, and finance. Subsequent discussions also covered marketing strategies aimed at increasing fish consumption among Generation Z, specifically to promote health. Participants noted that Japan’s daily practice of consuming sashimi is uncommon and stands out among global culinary traditions.

After delivering a keynote speech at the Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit recently, Chris Ninnes, our CEO recounts some thoughts from the event:   The annual sustainable seafood summit in Tokyo was particularly meaningful as it celebrated its 10th year. As before, but with a bigger audience and growing list of speakers, the event convenes key government, industry and market stakeholders from the region.    This leads to an interesting mix of very helpful overviews from these different perspectives. Asia faces many production challenges. It provides the world with most of its seafood and consumes the greater part directly. Wild catches are diminishing and farmed seafood has both environmental and social impacts if not undertaken responsibly. Seafood trade is under increasing scrutiny both within the region and from external observers.    Various presentations highlighted this and there are clear perception differences between the critics about what levels of progress are acceptable and others who consider policy initiatives as the panacea. Solutions are balanced between the competing demands to improve food security and livelihoods against the social improvement and equity also needed.    Addressing the most egregious social challenges are a clear priority and collective international solutions must prevail. But so to must be preserving environmental resilience to provide humanity with a secure future. All of this is compounded by the global phenomena of cross-border labour mobility, both legal and illegal, that exacerbates problems and confounds solutions.    It’s a heady mix within such an economically dynamic and diverse region and I very much look to future TSSS events where these topics are increasingly scrutinised and debated.

We are pleased to share that DIWA has signed an MoU with Seafood Legacy towards robust #humanrightsduediligence in the seafood industry in Japan. "Mutual goals include ensuring that the human rights of all people in Japan and overseas who are involved in the Japanese seafood market are protected, risks to companies and organizations that depend on seafood supply chains are reduced, and Japanese consumers can eat imported seafood with more assurance that their seafood was produced in a responsible way. This wide-ranging effort in Japan, the world's third largest seafood import market, aspires to have significant positive impacts on workers in global supply chains."

Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit 2024 is in the books - so much grattitude to the Seafood Legacy team for an amazing event. I had the honor of sharing the stage with Wakao Hanaoka, CEO of Seafood Legacy, and Jim Cannon CEO of SFP, to reflect on a decade of the sustainable seafood movement in Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region and to look forward to the next 10 years (both of whom I’ve worked with in different seasons of my career, and who I look up to dearly). A few takeaways from the session: 1.) what happens in Japan affects the entire Asia-Pacific - if sustianable seafood is only driven by Western markets then we’re missing the big picture; 2.) the best solutions are locally driven, and developed collaboratively and amicably across stakeholders from industry, gov’t, and NGOs; 3.) as a business in seafood or fisheries, be fearless to take on sustainability and social responsibility - you’ll be rewarded in the end and you’ll find people willing to support you; 4.) we’re in it for the long haul - labor audits haven’t proved to be enough / it’s proactive human rights due diligence - environmentally sustainable seafood is a result of capacity building for govt (and industry), and their ability to implement fisheries mgmt - the starting point is usually simply collecting data. 5.) We have an amazing Asia Fisheries team at Ocean Outcomes - and truly the next generation of seafood champions!

This year, the GTA had a prominent presence at the Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit! Two of our members took the stage to discuss sustainable practices and transparency in the tuna industry, highlighting the GTA’s ongoing commitment to responsible fisheries. Usufukuhonten highlighted the need for improved traceability in the Japanese supply chain to deter IUU from entering the market, while Culinary Collaborations worked hard to ensure the Japanese market understand that, in unity, good actors in the supply chain have strength to make positive change. The event covered vital topics such as supply chain transparency, reducing overfishing, and promoting human rights due diligence. Our participation reflects the growing recognition of GTA’s efforts in the Japanese market, marking a step forward in regional collaboration. Thank you to all who participated to make it such an enriching day! Seafood Legacy Culinary Collaborations LLC
