Tuna crews gain new welfare lifeline

The Seafood Task Force has begun an 18-month pilot project meant to give migrant tuna fishers a way to report abuse without risking their jobs or their safety
The initiative, unveiled after a member vote at the STF’s 2025 Summit, will be implemented by Humantics and Humanity Research Consultancy, two groups long involved in worker-rights investigations. It will be particularly aimed at Indonesians working on Taiwan-flagged vessels.
The new mechanism pairs a secure digital case-tracking system with in-person outreach during port calls.
