Migrant Fisher Rights: Key Issues II. Wi-Fi and CCTV Father Ansensius Guntur, from Flores, Indonesia, has lived in Taiwan for over four years, though his commitment to humanitarian aid began much earlier. While pursuing his studies in Rome, he volunteered for two years at the Stella Maris Center in Civitavecchia, a global nonprofit organization supporting migrant workers and seafarers. His humanitarian endeavors have since led him across Asia, including visits to Taiwanese ports such as Penghu, Xiaoliuqiu, Yanchengpu, and Cijin. He observed that many migrant fishers originate from the mountainous areas of Indonesia or the Philippines. Often, these individuals cannot swim and are uninformed about their rights. This is most likely due to their limited educational backgrounds, which typically do not extend beyond elementary or junior high school. These fishers endure the challenge of life at sea, largely driven by the urgent need to support their families. In response to these challenges, Stella Maris fosters initiatives to raise awareness of pertinent regulations, empowering fishers to advocate for their rights. Father Guntur has also engaged in fishing vessel inspections— often boarding them alone—where he often finds expired medical supplies and corroded syringes. The Executive Yuan’s Action Plan aims to provide medical insurance for coverage of up to NT$300,000; however, many ill fishers remain unaware and continue to incur out-of-pocket expenses for their return flights home. Thanks to Father Guntur and his team's efforts, many fishermen can now get legally covered medical assistance instead of making these costly trips. Father Guntur humbly downplays his role as merely spending time with the fishers. He frequently listens to their stories about life at sea, which include accounts of extended working hours, inadequate living conditions, unpaid wages, and other distressing experiences. 9
