SeaWeb’s Melanie Siggs, Vice President of Sustainable Markets, and Philip Chou, Outreach Manger for SeaWeb's Seafood Choices Program, are attending the international 15th Annual China Fisheries and Seafood Expo in Dalian, China, and participating in the second Sustainable Seafood Forum to be held at the Expo. The one-day forum invites the Chinese delegates to share information about, and discuss global thinking on, seafood sustainability

Melanie Siggs joins the seminar following two weeks in China and Hong Kong, where she met representatives from the regional seafood industries and learning more about the challenges and opportunities of China’s seafood industry. At the seminar she will moderate a panel entitled "How Sustainable is Chinese Seafood? China's Attitude Towards Seafood Sustainability."
