Overview of The SAFE Seas Project
The Safeguarding Against and Addressing Fishers’ Exploitation at Sea (SAFE Seas) Project is a four-year program funded by the US Department of Labor and implemented by Plan International, United States National Office (USNO) in cooperation with the Plan Country Offices in Indonesia (IDN) and the Philippines (PHL). SAFE Seas’ primary objective is to combat forced labor (FL) and trafficking in persons (TIP) on fishing vessels, especially ones with capacities of less than 30 GT where labor exploitation is unlikely to be reported or detected. By the end of the project, it is expected to contribute to the reduction of FL and TIP on fishing vessels in selected districts in Indonesia and the Philippines.
The project has two intended outcomes:
To achieve these outcomes, Plan is working closely with a wide range of stakeholders in Indonesia and the Philippines that deal with FL, TIP, and fishery industry issues. At the national and local level, Plan works with government ministries, public agencies, private businesses, service providers, as well as ship captains, civil society organizations (CSOs), and communities. Plan actively involves fish workers, as individuals and as members of fish worker’s unions, to combat FL/TIP in the selected provinces and districts where the project operates. At the global level, Plan is engaged with other international organizations that have experience in FL/TIP to work on solutions.
