Indonesia ratified the ILO Work in Fishing Convention (ILO 188) in April 2026, committing to stronger protections for fishing crews including safer working conditions, fairer pay, and better access to health care, with the government now having one year to update regulations and improve enforcement.
Implementation remains the biggest challenge; stronger labor standards could help curb illegal fishing and boost export credibility.
