Put “Big Seafood” on notice – clean up the global fishing industry
Reports of illegal fishing as well as human rights violations in the global fishing industry have been mounting for decades, across the globe and throughout the supply chain. Yet little has shifted in the industry to protect oceans or workers.
That’s why we’re calling on global tuna trader FCF and its US tuna brand Bumble Bee to end isolation at sea. As key players in the multi-billion dollar industry, they can help turn the tide towards a more sustainable and just future for fisheries.
They can do this by mandating free, accessible, and secure WiFi on all vessels they source from; ensuring that fishers are at sea for a max of 3 months between port visits; and that there is 100% observer coverage (human or electronic) on all source vessels.
By signing this petition, you will join a global movement sending a clear message to Bumble Bee and its owner FCF: it’s time to end isolation at sea and exploitation in the seafood supply chain.
Protect oceans, protect workers
The entire fishing and seafood industry must protect our oceans and uphold essential workers rights at sea. From the ocean to supermarket shelves, no company is free from this responsibility – least of all those raking in the profits, while people in their supply chain, on the other side of the world, allege conditions of forced labour and illegal fishing activities.
