Fig. 5. Conceptual framework linking results to key recommendations for mitigating risks of labor abuse and IUU fishing at port, at sea, and with transshipment.

Key actors, including governments, companies, Regional Fisheries Management Organizations, and civil society organizations, will need to actively coordinate and consult with each other on most of the proposed recommendations. Certain actors may need to play lead roles in particular recommendations. For example, governments and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations could lead on strengthening data sharing systems and creating enforcement strategies based on risk, companies on fostering supply chain transparency and traceability, and civil society groups on helping to ensure representation across stakeholders.
