Navigating the Future
of a Sustainable Seafood Industry
Through Global Collaboration
In 2024, the Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit (TSSS) celebrated its milestone 10th anniversary, reflecting on a decade of progress made together with seafood industry leaders from Japan and around the world. Building on this momentum, we 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 our efforts to expand the sustainable seafood movement globally.
How can we build a sustainable growth model and make sustainable seafood the mainstream while we work on eliminating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, addressing human rights issues and climate change, and domestically revitalizing rural areas?
Join us at the rebranded TSSS, where experts and changemakers from around the world will gather to share cutting-edge insights and shape the future of the seafood industry.

TSSS
The Tokyo 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.
Finally, in 2024, the TSSS will be held for the 10th time.
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.
