April 30–May 2, 2027 – Bilbao & Bermeo
The Bermeo Tuna Forum 2027 will bring together representatives from international organisations, the United Nations, the scientific community, the fishing fleet, the processing industry and coastal communities from 30 April to 2 May at the Euskalduna Conference Centre in Bilbao and the port of Bermeo. Under the strategic framework ‘Tuna 2030+: From Sustainability to System Leadership’, this event will address the comprehensive sustainability of the tuna system from its environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. Through governance forums and analyses of future scenarios, such as the Tuna Futures Lab and the Cities Leaders Summit, the direction of ocean regulation will be examined, linking the power of global decisions with the immediate reality of those who sustain the sea.
The central highlight of this edition will be the public accountability report on achievements since 2023, the expansion of the Global Tuna Cities Alliance, and the final signing of the Bermeo Declaration in the presence of the public. The Forum does not merely participate in the debate; it drives, engages and measures it.
The decisions that define the future of the ocean and fisheries system cannot wait any longer. Join a conversation where words are transformed into signed commitments. Registration for the Bermeo Tuna Forum 2027 will open shortly.
From the Sea. For the Future.
