Chi stressed the importance of recognizing the distinct operational protocols inherent to different segments of the fishing industry, including purse seine vessels, squid jiggers, and smaller nearshore boats, all of which warrant safeguarding. He noted that while government initiatives such as the installation of Wi-Fi and CCTV are aimed at improving the protection of fishers’ rights, they often overlook the obligations that fishers are expected to fulfill. The industry has exhibited various perspectives regarding the proposed requirement for CCTV aboard fishing vessels. Kung Kun-tung, Chairman of Donggang Hohai Fisheries, endorsed CCTV, suggesting that it could supplant traditional paper-based timekeeping methods by more effectively monitoring crew work and rest periods. This could help mitigate potential misunderstandings stemming from different languages or the noisy conditions prevalent during check-in and check-out. Conversely, some operators have expressed concerns about the substantial maintenance costs of CCTV and other electronic systems. The lack of comprehensive regulations and guidelines for proper implementation also imposes additional challenges on vessel owners. Chi pointed out that devices such as punch clocks are prone to frequent malfunctions and require two or three replacements annually. For example, squid-jigging boats frequently need to replace one-third of their CCTV cameras after each trip due to exposure to outdoor conditions. Wi-Fi connectivity also poses difficulties; antennas and routers are susceptible to damage, and the monthly service fees can range from USD $899 to $2,000. Ultimately, these financial burdens and consumable costs fall squarely on the shoulders of vessel owners. Lin Han-yu, Director of the Taiwan Tuna Association (TTA), underscored that no one can guarantee how long a hard drive will last in harsh marine conditions. Yet current regulations mandate that working 15
