SADC Fisheries Policy Brief
SAFE AND DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS IN SADC FISHERIES
Working in fisheries is amongst the most dangerous occupations in the world. With almost 40 million people working in fisheries globally the United Nations estimates that 80 lives are lost annually per 100,000 fishers – that is around four lives lost every hour in the fishery sector, which is four times more than the number lost in road accidents.
