  • The vulnerability of observers – An evaluation of observer programs welfare and working conditions policies

    Open AccessMaría Cecilia Hidalgo, Marcelo Hidalgo et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    Human rights issues on fishing vessels are increasingly receiving much-needed global attention. However, most focus is directed towards the fishing crew, often ignoring other important workers on board fishing vessels, namely, observers. Due to their specific role as the “eyes and ears” on the water, observers are not covered by any current binding international regulations concerning working standards on board fishing vessels. This leaves them r…

  • Be careful what you wish (fish) for

    Open AccessBianca Haas, Rachel Nichols et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    Under the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, states are required to ensure that conservation and management measures do not result in a disproportionate burden for developing states when managing transboundary fishery resources. Distributive equity principles, such as the polluter pays principle, are increasingly cited in fisheries negotiations to justify the removal of burdens carried by developing states. Here, we explore how these principle…

  • The practice of regional fisheries management organisations in advancing crew labour regulations

    Open AccessBianca Haas, Ruth Davis et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    Ensuring a safe working environment on board fishing vessels is of critical importance. Poor labour conditions have been found on vessels from around the world, highlighting the global nature of this problem. However, jurisdictional complexities and uncertainties over mandates have delayed much-needed progress in addressing the problem. In this paper, we argue that regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) are well-positioned to advance…

  • Fact or fiction? Unpacking the terminologies used in fisheries allocation discussions

    Open AccessBianca Haas, Camille Goodman et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    In fisheries management, allocating resources has been described as one of the most arduous and challenging tasks. Although most of the tuna regional fisheries management organizations (tRFMOs) have allocation processes in place, the equity of these processes has been questioned. Negotiations on allocations are driven by national and geopolitical interests, which also influence the manner in which key principles and concepts are used in the negot…
