Abstract

The migration of workers has been a global reality for long, but the circumstances and areas of labour migration have changed. While official attempts strive to make migration safe and decent, the fact remains that migrants continue to provide the 'cheap' labour that all kinds of industry are only too willing to engage. The fisheries sector also attracts migrant workers, particularly in the medium-sized offshore fleet where owners try to reap profits by any means, thereby not only harming the fish stocks but also compromising the safety and human rights of migrant fishers on board fishing vessels.
