The two- day Pacific Tuna Forum 2023 (PTF 2023), a paramount event in the world of marine conservation and fisheries management, is currently underway at the Stanley Hotel, Port Moresby. The PTF 2023 gathering is known for its profound impact on the sustainable management of tuna resources and preserving the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) as the region contributes almost 60% of the global tuna harvest. PTF 2023 has drawn international attention as stakeholders come together to address pressing challenges and chart a course for the future of the Tuna Industry. The Forum is organized by INFOFISH and the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) of Papua New Guinea (PNG) including other regional organizations in the Pacific. The 8th Pacific Tuna Forum will unite all these voices in "Strengthening tuna sustainability and industry development in the Blue Pacific Continent through increased innovation, partnership, and participation" at all value/ supply chain level. With the health of the world's ocean facing unprecedented challenges, this forum becomes an essential avenue for collaborative dialogue and action. There are five key themes to be discussed in this forum: 1) Sustainable Fisheries Management, 2) Ecosystem Conservation, 3) Climate Resilience, 4) Market Access and Trade, 5) Indigenous and local knowledge. The Forum will showcase technological innovations and best practices that can drive the fishing industry's efficiency and sustainability while reducing its environmental impact. As the world faces an increased need for collective action to protect the oceans and sustain vital marine resources, the PTF 2023 emerges as a beacon of hope and collaboration. The decisions and agreements forged during this event will contribute significantly to the sustainable management of tuna fisheries and broader health of our oceans as well.
