Fiji: Better Governance
Better maritime governance can enable a fair deal to offshore tuna fisheries’ workers of small island Pacific States who labour under a difficult working environment
Better governance in offshore tuna fisheries can achieve fair dealing for fishery crew. In this article I paint a rough picture of what it is like to be a fisher on some—not all—longline fishing vessels for weeks or months at a time. I also explore the measures in place to protect the fishery resource. And finally, I identify ‘small’ matters that, if taken up, would go a long way to protecting the fishers and raise the status of the fishery.
