Bermeo Tuna Forum (BTF), organized by Bermeo Tuna World Capital, is an international forum for debate and reflection on tuna sustainability, i.e. a very ambitious initiative whose aim is to transcend borders and become a benchmark in the industry. The first edition will focus on the importance of and need for establishing alliances to achieve sustainable management of tuna. The event will finish with the presentation of the International Declaration Agreement on Tuna Sustainability.

The Forum will bring together an international group of sustainable tuna ambassadors comprising different international players with capacity to impact and transform, from a social and economic point of view, the entire tuna value chain to protect these very precious resources and their ecosystems. The purpose is to align the fishing industry with 360º sustainability from a comprehensive perspective: economic, social and environmental sustainability.

For more than 60 years MARCO has been recognized by its firm commitment to innovation and collaboration with the fishing industry. This commitment is even more critical today in order to develop ever more efficient equipment and vessels both operationally and energy-wise, advances which, in combination with the different initiatives and policies adopted by the industry, are enabling progression towards an ever more social, environmental and economically sustainable fishing activity.

We are happy to collaborate with Bermeo Tuna World Capital on this important initiative.
