Caught in the Net: Protecting People, Not Just Fish
Every year, at least 32,000 fishers lose their lives at sea—out of a global workforce of 39 million.
We speak with Alan McCulla, OBE, Coordinator of the International Fund For Fishing Safety (IFFS), about global efforts to make fishing safer. Alan shares how IFFS is funding life-saving innovations and programs across the world.
In the push towards proving sustainability in this global seafood industry, how much attention is on the people in fishing and their welfare and safety?
“The amount of money being spent to prove fish is caught sustainably far outweighs what’s invested in human safety. Something’s wrong here. If you believe a human life is at least as valuable as a fish—come talk to us.”
