The coalition identified the three worst-performing key strategies out of seven: ensuring labor conditions, improving living conditions and social security, and strengthening monitoring and management mechanisms. 85 Key issues identified by the coalition: • The coalition criticized the siloed operations of government departments. It emphasized that labor-related responsibility—labor relations guidance, training, and the management of intermediaries—are concentrated within the Fisheries Agency rather than the MOL, the designated body for labor law enforcement. • There are no mandatory requirements for vessels to provide communication networks. Additionally, allowing vessels to remain at sea for up to 10 months exacerbates isolation, heightening risks of forced labor. • Evaluations focus heavily on documentation, with potential discrepancies from actual conditions. • Most foreign fishers continue to reside on the vessels even when they’re docked. The government’s efforts to improve onshore facilities are passive remedies that overlook the fundamental principle that humans should reside on land. • A dual employment system for distant water fishers excludes them from protections under the Labor Standards Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
