Lesson-76293-8

Piloting procedures for multidisciplinary fishing vessel labor inspection. A good practice developed by SAFE Seas in both countries was to bring the relevant agencies together to develop processes for harmonized or multi-agency approaches to inspections, building an emerging model that can be shared with other areas and expanded to the national level policy. Part of the learning regarding multidisciplinary inspection is that different approaches are possible and preferred by the authorities in different port locations; it does not have to be a physically joint inspection where the main agencies board vessels together, but various sea-based authorities can include labor issues within their inspection routines.
