Electronic monitoring (EM) is increasingly recognized as a critical tool for advancing sustainable fisheries, but its value to seafood companies goes far beyond sustainability. This panel will demonstrate how EM, when paired with other technologies, is delivering tangible business benefits across diverse supply chains. From strengthening traceability and compliance to improving product quality and market access, EM is proving to be a driver of both responsibility and market advantages.
This panel will bring together leaders from industry, technology, and conservation to share practical case studies of how EM is delivering business, environmental, and social benefits. Together, panelists will explore how EM adoption builds consumer trust, drives transparency, and creates shared value across the seafood supply chain. Panelists will highlight real-world initiatives, including a tuna EM project in Costa Rica, integration of EM data into digital traceability systems, and innovations in EM that support vessel-level social responsibility.
Perspectives from seafood companies, technology providers, and NGOs will illustrate how EM is scaling globally and creating new opportunities for collaboration. Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of EM adoption, this discussion will emphasize the broader value proposition of how EM and related technologies build trust with customers, enhance supply chain transparency, and create competitive advantages for companies and harvesters who adopt them. This session will explore how EM is not just a compliance tool, but a strategic business decision.
