The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) Trust has released the latest edition of its popular fisheries publication SAMUDRA Report, its triannual journal on fisheries, communities and livelihoods. SAMUDRA Report No. 77, dated September 2017, features articles on fisheries from around the world, notably, Brazil, Peru, New Zealand, Ireland, Ghana, Tanzania, West Africa, Canada, The Philippines and Fiji. The editorial Comment in the current issue, titled ‘Working for Fishers’, focuses on the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188) of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which aims to protect and promote decent work and living conditions on board fishing vessels. One article analyzes illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and how fishers on board IUU fishing vessels have to struggle against abysmally unacceptable working conditions. Another article points out the significant far-ranging implications of illegal fishing in West Africa. From Brazil comes a piece that looks at the shellfish fisherwomen on the Paraná coast and how they work in abject conditions. The piece from Peru discusses the diversity of geography, gear and techniques of fishing in the country and the special attendant problems that face the sector. How migrant fishers are often exploited on board vessels of fishing companies is the focus of the article from New Zealand, while that from Ireland also discusses migrant workers’ rights, emphasisizing the work of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF). Trafficking of child labour is the subject of the article from Ghana, which questions whether current interventions are far-reaching enough to tackle the problem. A piece from Tanzania reveals how the country’s fishers are vulnerable to social and work-related problems. There are two articles on Canada in the current issue one on the salmon fishermen on the west coast, who are on the brink of bankruptcy, and the other, on how the new government of Canada aims to protect fishermen from foreign corporates. Social sustainability in fish trade is analyzed in one article, which points out how sustainability hinges on the economic contribution of small-scale fishers. From the Philippines comes a piece on tuna fishermen and how they need policy interventions to secure their rights, safety and protection. The piece from Fiji is on the participation of women in the country’s fisheries sector and the several challenges they face. A review of the 2017 edition of the Pêcheurs du Monde film festival in Lorient, France, is followed by a report on the recent UN Ocean Conference, which is described as outstanding in its design and organization. The back-of-the-book Roundup section carries a range of news, analysis, tidbits and announcements.
