Nick Kightley, ETI's Strategic Lead, Food, Farming and Fisheries, says: 

"This survey is for all associated with the fishing industry globally. It is intended to form a building block towards establishing mechanisms for the greater protection of all fishers. ETI sits on the Advisory Board of the GFA's Fishing Vessel Crews Worker Voice project, of which this survey forms a part, and shares a common goal with GFA - the effective representation and protection of all fishers and the adoption and improvement of mechanisms, including trade union membership, that support this.

"We are encouraging all our food, farming and fisheries members to complete and forward the survey to colleagues and suppliers."
