We encourage and promote safe and sustainable fishing practices, and acknowledge the importance of commercial operators, fishers and fishing communities working together for the betterment of the entire industry.
When the Foundation talks of safety, it means safety from work-related physical harm or death, safety from preventable illness and disease, and safety from exploitation – very simply, safety from the abuse of basic human rights, whatever form that takes.
We also acknowledge the ever increasing importance of ensuring our oceans are healthy and the connection between safe fishing practices and sustainability.
