EU Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee for Sea Fisheries
Our Mission & Vision
At the heart of our efforts is a commitment to revolutionising the fisheries sector by prioritising safety, equity, and sustainability. Fishing is not just a livelihood; it’s a cornerstone of our global food system and an integral part of many communities. Yet, this vital sector faces immense challenges—from hazardous working conditions to unethical labour practices and environmental pressures.
Our mission is to champion the well-being of fishers by promoting decent work, advocating for fair recruitment practices, and addressing pressing issues such as forced labour and health and safety at sea. Through collaboration and innovation, we aim to make the fishing industry a beacon of equity and resilience.
We envision a future where every fisher, regardless of their origin, can work in a safe environment, receive fair treatment, and benefit from robust legal protections. By uniting expertise, fostering international cooperation, and setting bold new standards, we strive to transform the fisheries sector into a model of ethical and sustainable practice for the world to follow.
Our initiatives are shaping the future of sustainable fisheries, ensuring safety, equity, and progress across the industry.
