A key highlight of the event was the ceremonial signing of several social policies, including the Work Agreement Policy, Onboarding Procedures, Recording of Work Hours Policy, Health and Safety and Personal Protective Equipment Policy, and the Endangered, Threatened, and Protected Species Policy. These policies aim to promote fair working conditions, safety at sea, and responsible fishing practices among handline fishers. Participants further expressed their support by signing a Pledge Wall, symbolizing their commitment to the newly launched policies.
The project launched Audio-Visual Presentations covering key social policies, including the Human Rights and Social Responsibility Policy, Confidential Grievance Mechanism, and Age Verification Process. These materials aim to raise awareness among fishers and ensure better understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
