Using Technology to Implement Human Rights Protection and Sustainable Development at Sea: Building up Human-Centered Decent Work Policy for Distant Water Fisheries
Aug 01, 2021
The research project aims to review the labour affairs management of Distant Water Fisheries (DWF) vessels, in particular as a proposed policy response to the UN SDGs; namely the goal No.8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and goal No. 14 Life below Water. The research team will first provide an analysis of the phenomena of the employment of migrant fishers and its root causes. As the DWF vessels have been long criticized by civil society and environmental NGOs and the worst thing is that the fishery product has been listed as a product of forced labour by the Department of Labor of United States. The research intends to adopt a holistic approach, taking the concept of the ecosystem to integrate the employment cycle of a migrant fisher. The ecosystem starts from the recruitment, training, posting from the origin country and the onboard working environment and conditions in the vessels of the destination country and the completion of work contract with safe return as the end of the system. The research team conducts action research, collaborates with the association of vessel owners and recruits 3 vessels per year as an experiment field. Subproject 1 aims to build up the said ecosystem that will include the core stakeholders. Subproject 2 intends to develop blockchain technology to enable the ecosystem with traceability, anonymity, incorruptible and encryption security. Subproject 3 aims to collect the onboard hours of work and rest provided by the management side and analyse onboard filmed data with AI. Subproject 4 intends to analyse the onboard data on the phenomena of working overload and abuse behaviour on site. The outcome of the project package would be able to provide evidence-based policy advice which is grounded with main stakeholders’ participation.
