Since the first edition in 2023, we have continued to connect cities, institutions, businesses, scientific knowledge and regions around the challenges facing the global tuna industry.
In this Navigation Guide, we summarise that journey: what has happened, the ongoing discussions and the steps leading us to BTF2027.
