Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg has established a High-level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, endorsed by the United Nations and G7 countries. To showcase the best scientific knowledge in the field and contribute substantively to the work of the High-level Panel, leading experts will come together at the associated Science for Ocean Actions conference to identify challenges and opportunities for the sustainable management of biological marine resources in different regions of the world.

As part of the thematic discussion on the importance of seafood for human nutrition, Dr. Shakuntala Thilsted, WorldFish Program Leader, Value Chains and Nutrition, will speak about the role of fish in nourishing nations.

The findings and conclusions of the conference will feed into the efforts of the High-level Panel and G7 countries to catalyze bold, pragmatic solutions for a sustainable ocean economy.
