2025 Seafood New Zealand conference

Seafood for thought

Seafood New Zealand is proud to bring you the 2025 Seafood Conference on 6 and 7 August. Where industry leaders, fishers, fisheries managers, scientists, policymakers, and more will come together to explore the future of this 2.2 billion dollar industry.

This year’s theme, Seafood for Thought, challenges us to think critically about the role seafood plays in our economy, environment, and communities. As we navigate an evolving landscape - climate change, sustainability, consumer expectations - and seek to be even more innovative, science based and data-driven - this conference offers a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, spark ideas, and drive progress.

We’ll also explore the power of storytelling in helping to improve public perception. As an industry, we need to work smarter to share our story - we need to be highlighting the people, passion, and innovation behind the kaimoana.
