FISHING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

The July 25, 2025 training led by RD fleet personnel emphasized ethical practices and crew welfare under the FISH Standard. Attended by 29 crew members from F/V Dolores 869, it covered ethical recruitment, fair compensation, grievance mechanisms, and ILO C188 compliance. FIA PNG oversees certification via audits, while RD ensures ongoing crew awareness and accountability across its fleet.

FIA PNG recently conducted audits in Rabaul to assess crew welfare, marine litter, and ghost gear compliance. These efforts support biodiversity, align with global sustainability standards, and help secure livelihoods. Data collected will shape better waste policies and reinforce PNG’s leadership in responsible tuna fishing
