This report emphasises the need for both the Indonesian and Phillippine governments to take concrete policy actions in order to address the labour and environmental issues raised. Three international instruments are particularly relevant for migrant fishers: 1) the International Labour Organization (ILO) Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (Convention No. 188 or C-188); 2) the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Cape Town Agreement; and 3) the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA). Of the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), only Thailand has ratified C-188. The PSMA has been ratified by Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The Cape Town Agreement, on the other hand, has yet to be ratified by any of the members of the ASEAN. Industrial fishing has been rated the second deadliest profession in 20195. It involves long work shifts, physically demanding tasks, poor availability and use of protective equipment, inexperienced crew, and high injury rates.
