Expose the exploitative fishing industry. Stop slavery at sea!
The impacts of overfishing constantly leave our oceans in a battered and bruised state, damaging marine life, our ecosystems, and the millions of people who rely on the oceans to make a living. That’s why the pressure is on for seafood companies worldwide to take up the mantle of corporate responsibility and due diligence.
The entire fishing industry is responsible for protecting our oceans and upholding workers rights at sea. No part of the supply chain is free of this responsibility; nobody is exempt.
By signing this petition you will join a global movement, sending a clear message to the fishing industry, especially global seafood trader, FCF. As one of the largest tuna traders in the world, the company, with an estimated revenue of 45 BILLION US dollars per year, has a crucial role to play in building a better, sustainable, ethical fishing industry. Where FCF leads, others will inevitably follow. That’s why we’re demanding that they protect migrant fishers’ rights, and protect the ocean.
As the migrant fishers’ movement grows, the calls for justice mount.
In countries such as Indonesia, Cambodia, and the Philippines, where many of these migrant fishers are employed from, courageous people are stepping forward to share their traumatic experiences. They’re speaking out and it’s time for the people who profit to listen closely.
Seafood companies can no longer ignore the fact that customers are asking questions and looking for alternatives. FCF isn’t doing enough to protect the workers in its supply chain, nor the ocean being profited from. Put simply, the fisheries of the future should not harm our oceans or the people who provide the essential work it takes to bring seafood from ocean to plate.
Seafood companies: Protect oceans and workers!
Sign the petition to tell seafood trader FCF that it’s time to step up for the oceans, marine life, animals and workers at sea.
