Imagine heading off to work, leaving behind your pregnant wife as she prepares to welcome your first child into the world\u2014not knowing if you will hear her voice or see her face or that of your newborn for months, maybe even years. Picture the ache of longing to check in on your elderly mother, to find solace in her words after a grueling day, yet being completely cut off. Now, imagine watching a coworker fall gravely ill or pass away, powerless to call for help or inform their loved ones of their fate. For many workers in the distant water fishing industry, these harrowing realities aren\u2019t just hypothetical\u2014they are lived realities of isolation<\/a> from basic human connection and support that have been shared with Greenpeace campaigners and fishers unions. <\/p>\n\n
