Join the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) for the release of its new report, Taking Stock: Labor exploitation, illegal fishing and brand responsibility in the seafood industry.

The report documents the results of ILRF’s Independent Monitoring at Sea (IM@Sea) project, and lays out a path forward for industry actors and government agencies aiming to fulfill their human rights responsibilities in the seafood sector. In addition to providing principles and lessons learned, Taking Stock is a call to action for companies all along the seafood supply chain and the governments with oversight responsibility to adopt effective, worker-centered tools and policies to ensure respect for human rights in the global seafood trade.

The event will be an opportunity for interested stakeholders from civil society, industry and government to share successful strategies to prevent, mitigate, and remediate human rights abuses in seafood supply chains.
