TOKYO, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seafood Legacy Co., Ltd. and Nikkei ESG will host "The Sustainable Seafood Summit 2026 (TSSS2026)," a flagship event for the global seafood industry, from October 21 to October 23, 2026.
As one of Asia's largest sustainable seafood events, TSSS2026 brings together key international stakeholders to share the latest insights and accelerate sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Since 2015, TSSS has united businesses, governments, researchers, investors, CSOs, and other stakeholders committed to advancing a sustainable, nature-positive seafood industry.
Today, the seafood sector faces growing challenges, including climate change, geopolitical uncertainty, IUU (illegal, unreported, unregulated) fishing, biodiversity loss, and human rights risks. These issues threaten marine ecosystems, supply chains, and global food security.
In this changing landscape, trust has become a key competitive advantage. Supply chain transparency and collaboration are essential to building resilient seafood systems. East Asia, home to some of the world's largest seafood markets, has the opportunity to become a global driver of sustainable solutions.
The theme of TSSS2026 is "Resonating Actions, Expanding Impact." Through collaboration among businesses, fishers, researchers, policymakers, and CSOs worldwide, the event will explore practical solutions that accelerate positive change.
TSSS2026 is open to anyone interested in co-creating the next wave of transformation for sustainable seafood.
