IntraFish Media will partner with The Economist magazine to support the second World Ocean Summit, to be held Feb. 24 -26 in San Francisco.
"It is a distinct honor to join forces with The Economist, the world's leading global business and politics publication, to advance the cause of safeguarding our ocean's resources while maximizing the economic benefits for the seafood sector," said Pål Korneliussen, publisher of IntraFish Media.
The summit, hosted in association with National Geographic and chaired by John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of The Economist, will convene more than 200 global leaders from government, business, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks and academia.
This year’s event will focus on the connection between sustainability and governance.
As a supporting partner, IntraFish will provide exclusive coverage of the event to subscribers of its publications, and facilitate the participation of the seafood sector in the event, including discounted access.

Our in-depth knowledge of the seafood sector and our access to the top executives at leading companies around the world will certainly add value to an already ground-breaking summit," said Korneliussen.
