Mapping table

Mapping of organizations, institutions and companies developing digital solutions to address forced labour in the fisheries sector

This mapping provides a snapshot of digital solutions that are being used or are in the process of being developed or trialled to address labour rights abuses and forced labour in the fisheries sector.

It is by no means an exhaustive list but rather an attempt to map out the main players and some of the innovations that have the potential to improve the detection of labour rights abuses and forced labour on fishing vessels and throughout the seafood processing sector.

For ease of reading, the mapping has been divided into three broad categories:

(1) fishing vessel tracking technology for monitoring forced labour and labour rights abuse at sea;
(2) recruitment process and labour inspection tools to prevent and detect forced labour in fishing; and
(3) traceability e-tools to prevent and detect forced labour in the seafood supply chain.
