SENA attendees interested in learning more about Indonesian tuna are invited to a lunch and panel discussion. Indonesia is one of the largest tuna suppliers to the US market, with fisheries spanning the archipelago from the Pacific to the Indian Oceans and ranging from artisanal to commercial operations. These fisheries play a crucial role in Indonesia’s economy, supporting employment, food security, and local communities. However, safeguarding these resources requires collaboration among local and global stakeholders.
This session will feature leading Indonesian government and industry representatives, focusing on sustainability initiatives, Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification strategies, and Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) across various gear types and regions. Discussions will also address innovative solutions for small-scale fishers on remote islands, advancements in industrial fleet sustainability, and the critical role of certification in securing access to markets like the US.
The Indonesian government will highlight opportunities to enhance US-Indonesia collaboration, emphasizing how partnerships can align global sustainability goals with local community and industry needs. Join us to explore Indonesia’s sustainable tuna journey and discover opportunities for engagement.
