Summary of the Implementation of the Interim Action Plan for Fisheries and Human Rights The Action Plan was launched by the Executive Yuan to systematically improve the rights and welfare of fishers, particularly addressing the labor rights of over 20,000 migrant fishers employed under the overseas employment system. This national human rights initiative leverages interministerial collaboration to institutionalize labor rights enhancements for foreign crew members across seven core strategies. Approved on May 20, 2022, the plan underwent a review and revision on July 25, 2023, with an emphasis on bolstering communication and safety measures for crew members and increasing budget allocations. During an interview, Director Lin Ding-rong highlighted that the Action Plan is a four-year rolling review initiative, “We aim to address the structural issues comprehensively and strengthen enforcement to improve the global perception of labor rights in Taiwan's fisheries industry. The goal is to align with international standards while dispelling negative views of distant water fisheries.” 95
