SR617_Seafish VMS Project Report_SFA003

The Inshore Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) project was initiated to pilot and assess inshore vessel tracking systems to instil confidence in fishermen’s compliance with local environmental management agreements (statutory and voluntary). Seafish was approached by the South West Inshore Fishermens Association (SWIFA) to look at a vessel monitoring system for inshore scallop vessels. This project objective was to provide a means of verifying that vessels fishing inshore where able to provide evidence of compliance with voluntary and statutory agreements.

Seafish briefing on labour issues in Thailand's warm water prawn supply chain. December 2014.

The Thai government has long faced criticism for its failure to curb labour and human rights abuses occurring in the country, however attention came to a head in June 2014 with the publication of a series of articles and videos in the Guardian newspaper containing allegations of human trafficking and slave labour in the Thai seafood industry. At the same time the US State Department downgraded Thailand to a Tier 3 ranking on its 2014 Trafficking in Persons report. Tier 3 status indicates insufficient improvement of ongoing human trafficking problems in a number of Thailand’s industries, including its seafood industry. The TIP Report highlights the existence of forced labour, human trafficking, and other abuses on Thai vessels that harvest wild fish for Thai shrimp feed, and the Guardian articles have connected those supply chains to leading producers and retailers. The UK seafood industry is taking this issue very seriously and there are moves to ensure that each link in the supply chain is not implicated in any form of labour abuse. Whilst there is a fundamental need to improve the situation this document highlights the positive movement for change that is underway.

Guidance Note - Protected Wildlife Sites

There are more than 7000 protected wildlife sites in the UK, and many of these extend to the coast and inshore waters. • Some fishing activities may not have a significant impact on wildlife, some might need to be restricted in certain areas, but if so, it may be possible to find wildlife-friendly ways to keep working. • Breaking wildlife laws can result in a criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £20,000. • This Guidance Note will tell you about the protected wildlife sites in the UK, and how to work with the authorities to stay the right side of the law.
