Victoria participated today in a meeting with SeaBOS from Haga Palace.
Court website
On Monday, May 11, the Crown Princess attended the digital meeting around SeaBOS (Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship), which takes place over two days.
The Crown Princess began the digital meeting by saying, among other things:
"Right now, the world is in the middle of a pandemic that is affecting all of our lives. I fully understand that as leading seafood companies, you have many other, pressing matters to tend to at this time.
Still, you have chosen to be here today. And that means a lot.
Your participation in this meeting is evidence of your true and long-term commitment to SeaBOS; to a sustainable seafood production and a healthy ocean.
Thanks to you, we can keep pushing ahead, despite everything else going on right now."
Representatives from the world's ten largest seafood companies, as well as experts and researchers in the area, attend the meeting.
SeaBOS aims to make the world's fishing more sustainable. The digital work meeting will discuss issues such as IUU Fishing (Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated), plastics in the seas, antibiotic use and planning for the next meeting which will take place in October.

Victoria said at her speech also:
I would have loved to be able to welcome all of you to Stockholm today. But instead, let me say how glad I am that we are able to meet like this, instead.
And a special welcome to those of you that are with us for the first time.
My own first meeting within the SeaBOS initiative was the Keystone Dialogue in the Maldives in November 2016. Today, three and a half years later, it is a great pleasure to see you - our community of collaborative change makers keeps on growing! (...)
Dear friends. It takes courage to make the right decisions; especially when those decisions are difficult, uncomfortable, or sometimes expensive. But that is what true leaders do. They lead by example. That is what you do. And I am immensely proud to be part of your initiative.
Now, I look forward to seeing what you will achieve during the three days that we have ahead of us. I wish you the best of luck, and a productive and successful meeting.
