Social Responsibility: USAID Oceans aims to improve labor conditions for fairer and gender-equitable seafood supply chains by integrating human welfare throughout all the program’s activities. In addition to developing a recommended set of eCDT data points that address the human element of fishing activities, USAID Oceans provides trainings on mainstreaming gender equity in fisheries activities, supports the development of national and local policies and regulations and advocates for women’s empowerment and gender equity.

The USAID Oceans and Fisheries Partnership (USAID Oceans) is a five-year activity (2015-2020) that works to strengthen regional cooperation to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and conserve marine biodiversity in the Asia-Pacific region. USAID Oceans works with public and private sector partners across Southeast Asia to develop and implement electronic catch documentation and traceability systems, improve sustainable fisheries management using an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management, address human welfare and gender equity concerns, and develop public-private partnerships in support of these efforts.
