Put \u201cBig Seafood\u201d on notice – clean up the global fishing industry<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the Greenpeace Beyond Seafood* campaign is calling on \u201cBig Seafood\u201d  to end isolation at sea \u2013 a practice that keeps ships at sea for months or years at a time, away from the watchful eye of inspectors and law enforcement.  \u201cBig Seafood\u201d is a way to name the many corporations that are raking in the profits whilst depleting our oceans and profiting from the severe labour issues in their supply chain. Reaching from grocery stores, such as Walmart and Carrefour, to well-known brands like Bumble Bee and down to influential traders like FCF and Aneka Tuna Indonesia (ATI), \u201cBig Seafood\u201d could actually help turn the tide towards a more sustainable and just future for fisheries and fishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re calling on seafood companies to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • End isolation at sea by mandating free, accessible, and secure WiFi on all vessels they source from;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Limit time that fishers are at sea, at maximum of 3 months between port visits;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And ensure there is 100% observer coverage on all source vessels;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    By signing this petition, you will join a global movement sending a clear message to seafood industry players: it\u2019s time to end isolation at sea and exploitation in the seafood supply chain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
