system reflects the distinct regulatory frameworks for domestic and distant water fishing operations. 74 Lin Ding-rong explained: “A fishing vessel's crew composition can vary—it might be entirely composed of foreign crew members, entirely domestic crew, or a mix of both. In general, at least the captain is required to be of Taiwanese national. Therefore, the MOL also conducts its labor inspections, and our newly implemented labor inspections will proceed as well. As I mentioned, this collaborative effort involves multiple government agencies. We coordinate with the MOL, and when fishing vessels dock, each agency conducts inspections according to its jurisdiction and authority.” The Fisheries Agency has hired 60 labor inspectors, including interpreters, significantly improving its labor-to-inspector ratio compared to the MOL. This has bolstered the agency's inspection capacity and enforcement intensity. Lin explained that, in contrast to the approximately 10% coverage rate required for fisheries unloading inspections, the Fisheries Agency aims to inspect at least 500 distant water fishing vessels, 250 business premises, and 50 intermediary agencies annually. “Under such high-intensity inspections, every vessel owner will feel the impact. They might think the Fisheries Agency is creating unnecessary issues, even requiring things not previously demanded, such as crew payroll records or payment histories. The inspection process is also cumbersome, especially during the busy fishing season. While handling the unloading of fish, they must also respond to the April 16, 2024, Kaohsiung, “International Forum on Fisheries and Human Rights”, presentation by OSHA, MOL, “Taiwan's Occupational Safety and Health Protection Policies for Fisheries”. 74 77
