Table 5: Workers’ Rights Commitments

“The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in coordination with the Departments of State and Labor, will continue to promote the adoption of international labor standards for crew and observers in international fisheries management bodies. These standards include provisions to ensure that crew have safe, legal, and sanitary conditions aboard fishing vessels and receive adequate remuneration for their work. The standards also call for legal and fair recruitment processes.” (p.31)
