Fishers in Bangladesh encounter a multitude of challenges that hinder their livelihoods and threaten the sustainability of the fishing industry. These problems encompass various aspects, ranging from environmental issues to economic and social constraints.
We are playing a crucial role in Bangladesh by supporting fishers in enhancing their safety practices and ultimately improving their livelihoods. With a focus on promoting safety standards and providing essential training, the FISH Safety Foundation is making significant strides towards ensuring the well-being of fishers and enhancing their working conditions.
One of the primary objectives of the FISH Safety Foundation is to raise awareness among fishers about the importance of safety measures at sea. By organising workshops and training sessions, the FSF educates fishers on various aspects of safety, such as proper use of safety equipment, emergency response techniques, and understanding weather conditions. This knowledge equips fishers with the necessary skills to navigate potential risks and hazards while out at sea.
Fishing is not only a crucial livelihood for many Bangladeshis but also a dangerous occupation with numerous hazards. The FISH Safety Foundation understands the importance of addressing these risks and actively collaborates with various stakeholders, including fishing communities, government agencies, and non-profit organisations, to create a safer working environment.
FSF believes by fostering a culture of safety and promoting effective communication channels, we aim to ensure that Bangladesh fishermen can carry out their work while minimising the inherent dangers they face.
