SAFET2019 welcomes nominations and submissions to present at the event to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 13-16 February, 2019.

 

The theme of SAFET2019 is “Illuminating the Supply Chain,” which reflects the growing recognition of the increasingly important role that the seafood supply chain plays in identifying and assisting actions related to investigations of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU).  Regulatory authorities have progressively identified supply chain traceability as an increasingly important tool in combatting IUU alongside other available MCS tools.

 

SAFET2019 is seeking nominations for presentations that are dynamic, engaging, thought-provoking, and enhance understanding of emerging technologies and their applications in a fisheries and seafood context.   Presentations should be targeted at a relatively broad audience.  Presentations that “push the limits of the possible” are encouraged!

1. Speaker Sessions

 

(a) Understanding the Global Fisheries and Seafood Landscape

i.      Overview of the Global Fisheries Industry and Seafood Supply Chain
