Seafood 2030/The Walton Family Foundation Programming. FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. This dialogue will bring together representatives from the Indonesian government, industry, NGOs, and U.S. tuna importers to discuss Indonesia’s tuna sector as a case study for promoting sustainable and traceable seafood. The session will examine how fisheries management, digital traceability, and enhancements in quality and cold-chain systems are bolstering compliance, transparency, and long-term resource stewardship, especially within small-scale fisheries. Emphasis will be placed on Indonesia’s leadership in aligning its national traceability system with the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) standards, and how this alignment facilitates regulatory compliance, operational improvements, and influences trade and policy. The discussion will highlight Indonesia’s role as the world’s largest tuna producer and a key supplier to the U.S. market, showcasing how industry-led initiatives and government engagement are working together to support coastal livelihoods while meeting international sustainability and traceability expectations. Panelists will share practical lessons from on-the-ground implementation, buyer perspectives on data standards and compliance, and opportunities for continued collaboration between Indonesian seafood producers, U.S. buyers, and associations. The session is hosted by Seafood2030 in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia, the Indonesia Tuna Consortium, and the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST).
