Why IFISH?
IFISH 5 is your chance not just to learn what’s working (and not working) in safety and health, but also to share your ideas for improving worker safety and health in the future. You will have the opportunity to discuss these topics in depth and contribute your thoughts at several workshops throughout the conference. Topics include global fisheries management policy and the safety of workers, forced labor, public health initiatives, aquaculture health and safety, preventing worker injury, vessel safety, and how to increase life vest adoption. Your contributions will be helping to shape policy, initiatives, and research for years to come.
