This plan aims to comprehensively examine the management of the employment of foreign labor in my country's distant water fishery, especially to correspond to the policy issues of the 8th suitable work and the 14th underwater life of the United Nations sustainable development indicators, aiming at the next 10 years (2021-2030) Policy planning for appropriate labor and sustainable development of pelagic fisheries. The ZOZEN team analyzed the current status of the employment management of foreign crews in the offshore fishery industry. Over the past three years, the working conditions and working environment of foreign crews at sea have been repeatedly criticized by domestic and foreign labor rights and environmental protection groups. The U.S. Department of Labor will list fishery products as forced labor in 2020. This study argues that a holistic approach should be adopted, using the concept of an ecosystem to recruit, hire, and train ocean-going foreign seafarers from the country of origin, to board the ship, enjoy appropriate labor standards, and finally return home safely. , as an ecosystem cycle. Therefore, this study uses action research, and through cooperation with the Fisheries Public Association, three ocean-going fishing boats are recruited each year as the actual construction site. The plan includes: 1. Establish an ecosystem mechanism in which foreign seafarers are recruited from the source country, set off to the destination country, embark on fishing work, and return to their hometowns safely. 2. Use blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of information in the employment and management system, and commit to the transparency and accountability of the ecosystem. 3. Big data analysis of the working hours' records and onboard video recordings of ocean-going fishing boats to establish service management and fatigue warnings. Analyze working hours and rest with onboard video data, and provide analysis on fatigue and bullying at sea. The final output of the project not only provides evidence-based suggestions for government departments, but also allows government policies to respond to social needs in an all-round way through stakeholder participation, dialogue, and collaboration.
