keeping them awake at night, respondents shared the following:

• Climate change and ocean conditions causing unprecedented stock

migration (e.g., away from Tribal areas)

• Supply chain delays and disruptions caused by global bio-psycho-socio-

economic upheavals
• The impact of inflation on the seafood industry (i.e., from source to plate)

• Seafood buyers not living up to their published sustainability

requirements/claims in their actual buying practices
• Overpromising to customers and not being able to deliver

• Consumers becoming overwhelmed and disillusioned about sustainability

• Media sensationalizing seafood news rather than providing unbiased
information to the public
