SeaBOS progress report launch: Lessons learned since 2017

Five years’ later, this report launch will focus on progress made, challenges faced, and opportunities identified. The session will also discuss the role of sustainable seafood in helping to ensure food security, address climate change and support ocean health – and the role of science-industry collaboration in making this happen.
Panel participants:
• Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden – Opening remarks
• Therese Log Bergjord, CEO Skretting, COO Nutreco, and Chair SeaBOS
• Martin Exel, Managing Director, SeaBOS
