ABOUT TSSS

The Sustainable Seafood Summit (TSSS) is one of the largest sustainable seafood events in Asia, held annually since 2015.

Based on a theme focusing on the pursuit of environmental sustainability and social responsibility to realize a sustainable seafood industry, front-runners from diverse organizations, including experts, companies, and NGOs in the fields of seafood-related business, fishery resource management, blue finance, and fishery policy, both domestic and international, share their latest knowledge.
Participants continue to be inspired by the encounters at TSSS, which have led to a number of joint projects among many organizations.

In 2021, TSSS changed its role and name from a symposium to a summit, and began the challenge of further accelerating the sustainable seafood movement.

Last year, in 2024, we held the 10th TSSS.
Our goal, "Win the Mainstream by 2030,” gained the support of many participants.


This year, TSSS 2025 will be held in Osaka, making it the first TSSS ever to be held outside of Tokyo.

We only have five years until 2030.
Toward a sustainable and abundant ocean.

We will continue to develop the TSSS as a powerful stage for designing a sustainable seafood industry together with everyone.
