And FIPs are not tied to an actionable labour governance regime. The same fisher working in sub-standard conditions can put haddock into the MSC approved bucket and nephrops into the FIP under improvement bucket, but the working conditions remain the same. @bethjackson1x.bsky.social

1. Non-binding guidelines do not improve compliance (which is the bare minimum) and do not create a sense of moral obligation to improve. 2. Self-assessments failed to detect ACTUAL cases of #ForcedLabour being investigated by authorities.
