About the symposium
The ocean and its fishery resources are vital to the wellbeing and prosperity of humankind. Fish provide 3.2 billion people with almost 20% of their animal protein, proving the importance of fisheries in a global context.
The wild-living marine resources are renewable but not inexhaustible, and sustainable fishing is an important part of UN’s 14th sustainable development goal. Consumers, markets and authorities increased demand for verifiable documentation of stocks being harvested sustainably, with traceability throughout the value chain, reflects the importance of reaching the UN goals.
To be able to accommodate the increasing demand for verifiable documentation, emerging technologies need to be utilized and new technological solutions will need to be developed and implemented globally.
