The summary of the paper:
Blockchain technology can improve transparency in global fish supply chains, addressing issues like illegal fishing and seafood mislabeling. This digital record, accessible to all participants in real-time, addresses traceability gaps and benefits both supply chain members and customers. The G20 should support coordinated pilots to test applications, develop consensus standards, and address barriers collaboratively. By 2025, blockchain could significantly improve global supply chain visibility, sustainability, and trust if barriers are overcome through cooperation.
