Powering Responsible Fisheries, Markets, and Livelihoods

The countdown is on to the SAFET Conference, co-hosted with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), a 3-day global gathering of over 300 leaders from government, industry, NGOs, fishers, tech providers and scientists. Through interactive panels, roundtables, fireside chats and real-world technology demonstrations spanning emerging and existing technologies, participants explore the challenges facing practitioners and discover proven and cutting-edge technology solutions for sustainable fisheries. With deep, interactive networking and post-event engagement, the conference sparks collaboration that shapes projects, partnerships and practice into the future.
