Hidden on the high seas, far from prying eyes, the exploitation of 10s of thousands of migrant fisheries workers continues unabated, some say worsened due to COVID-19, new @GreenpeaceSEA reports https://t.co/AngboWhZrs
Waren het niet de Britse vissers die zo hard hebben gepusht voor een Brexit? Karma! Britse vissers demonsteren bij ambtswoning Johnson tegen brexit-rompslomp https://t.co/9XPm0CVzsA via @NOS
.@greenpeaceusa's @andy_s_shen writes about #forcedlabor in the distant water fishing fleets of Taiwan and China, and the advocacy that resulted in DOL adding fish harvested by those fleets to their forced labor list for the first time. https://t.co/4EDOzw4IF4
When it comes to the fishing industry, #Taiwan is one of the worst in the world for poor working conditions and disrespect for environmental boundaries. What will it take to turn this reputation around?

It is getting more and more urgent for Taiwan to clean up its Distant Water Fishing Fleet! FIS - Worldnews - Department of Labor Adds Taiwan to its “Dirty List” for Fish Produced by Forced Labor https://t.co/IHkJ4EbBsr
This thread by @PescaWWF explains that "tons and tons" of endangered #mako#sharks, listed by CITES, are piling up at a storage facility in Vigo as the Spanish "swordfish" fleet would have by far exhausted the mako trade quota granted under #CITES
Forced labor in the Taiwanese distant water fishing fleet has been a massive problem for years. This move by @CBP in the US shows what can happen if companies fail to uphold their human rights responsibilities. Slave tainted seafood is not on!
Who's corporate owner has links to suppliers accused of human rights abuses and shark-finning that is devastating endangered species?
@BumbleBeeFoods, that's who.

They protect the oceans, but who protects them? We're calling on the UN's @MaryLawlorhrds to give #FisheryObservers the proper protection they need and to end deaths at sea https://t.co/2VnEdaeMRA
This tragedy shows how industrial fishing is not only destroying our oceans, but also the lives of workers tricked into a system of slavery. There's no market for human rights abuse in our seafood.
