International experts and sector leaders reinforce the International Declaration for Tuna Sustainability at a key meeting for the future of the Atlantic.

BILBAO – In an effort to secure the future of the oceans through cooperation and culinary excellence, the Bermeo Tuna World Capital association has hosted the institutional and gastronomic event "Sustainable Tuna Experience". The gathering took place at the Hotel Ercilla in the Biscayan capital, coinciding with the intersessional meeting of Sub-Committee 1 of ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas), held between May 5 and 7.

The event brought together more than 100 international experts who provide scientific and technical advice to ICCAT, the regional fisheries management organization responsible for regulating and conserving tuna fisheries in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. The initiative sought not only to delight palates but to highlight the environmental, social, and economic commitment of the companies integrated into the tuna value chain linked to Bermeo.

The winner of the Bermeo Tuna Pintxo Competition is Alakrana Bermeo. This first edition has been a great success, with sustainable tuna and albacore tuna taking center stage in Bermeo's bars. -->

Strategic Alliances and Institutional Support

The conference featured solid public and private backing, highlighting the support of the Basque Government, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, and the Bermeo Town Council. Likewise, leading firms from the tuna and canning industry such as ALAKRANA, Arroyabe, Balfegó, Salica-Campos, and Serrats sponsored this showcase of best practices.

During the act, key figures from the international fisheries sphere shared their vision:

  • Mr. Camile Jean Pierre Manele (General Secretary of ICCAT).

  • Ixone Soroa Guenaga (Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Basque Government).

  • Ignacio Serrats (President of the Bermeo Tuna Association).

Gastronomy as a Tool for Awareness

The central proposal of the event was to demonstrate that premium quality and ethics can go hand in hand. Through a gastronomic selection based on Albacore (Bonito del Norte) and Tuna in various formats—fresh, frozen, canned, and semi-processed—the added value of products captured and processed under strict sustainability commitments was exhibited.

The director of the Bermeo Tuna association emphasized the relevance of these forums:

“These types of meetings are a necessary tool to showcase all the effort, innovation, and added value behind every product derived from tuna and albacore, whether fresh, frozen, canned, or semi-processed.”

Furthermore, she underscored the social impact of this production model:

“The commitment to sustainability generates identity, economic development, and social cohesion, while preserving the resource and the marine environment as a guarantee of life and a future for the territories that live off tuna, albacore, and their entire value chain.”

With this action, Bermeo Tuna World Capital continues to strengthen its international positioning as a benchmark in tuna sustainability, the blue economy, and gastronomic valorization linked to the sea.
