During the Dialogue, Dr. Magnus Torell, Senior Advisor to SEAFDFEC presented “Labour, migration and fisheries management in the context of sustainable use of fisheries resources in the ASEAN region”. He pointed that the 2011 Resolution and Plan of Action emphasized the necessity for improving working conditions of people engaged in fisheries activities, and strengthen measures for safety of fishing vessels taking into consideration regional specificity; while there are a number of on-going development in the region, e.g. the Good Labour Practice (GLP) Guidelines for the Thai Fishing Sector, which are based on national and international labor instruments.As Thailand is considered one of the largest hubs of fisheries migrant labors, with approximately one million workers associated in the whole seafood supply chain, several issues were discussed using Thailand as a case, e.g. on the Ministerial Regulation no. 10 on Sea Fishery Worker Protection under the Law Protection Act B.E. 2541 which covers fishing labors (including migrants) who work in fishing vessel with more than 20 workers and operate offshore less than one year only, therefore several vessels that operate in the high seas or neighboring countries more than one year are excluded in the employment protection regulations. The issues also included limited capacity of labor inspection onboard fishing vessels, the remuneration for labor forces which depends on the catch with unclear deduction, insufficient languages interpreter, inability of migrant labors to engage in labor union, etc. This Dialogue also improved awareness on poorly recognized linkages between fisheries conservation and management and social protection of fishers.
