In the discussion session, the participants provided excellent input regarding fisheries sustainability starting from the discussion on crab cultivation and the most interesting thing was about the Control Document Audit System (CDAS) to support traceability from downstream to the final supply chain. Phillips also said that almost 50% of crab meat in America comes from Indonesia, but if it does not have documents related to sustainability, America will not accept the product, which means that the global market for crabs is disappearing.
