In 2024, Seafood Legacy and Nikkei ESG held the 10th Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit (TSSS), reflecting on a decade of progress made together with seafood industry leaders from Japan and around the world. Building on this momentum, they set a new goal: Make sustainable seafood the mainstream, together by 2030.

In 2025, the "Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit" will be renamed "The Sustainable Seafood Summit" (abbreviated to TSSS nevertheless) as part of efforts to expand the sustainable seafood movement globally.

Throughout this event, participants will discuss regional challenges such as building a sustainable growth model and making sustainable seafood the mainstream. They will also work on eliminating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, addressing human rights issues and climate change, and domestically revitalizing rural areas.

The rebranded TSSS encourages all those interested to join experts and changemakers from around the world who gather to share cutting-edge insights and shape the future of the seafood industry.
