Using Filters to Refine the Display

There are several filters you can use to identify countries in the tool, accessible by using the dropdown menus along the top of the world map. Only one selected value is valid for each of the filters. Filters include:

• Country. Scroll through the pre-populated list or type in the search bar until you see the country name you are looking for. Note that only countries included in the tool will be included in the list. Select a country name for it to be highlighted on the map.
• Evidence of abuses. Select Yes to highlight all countries that have evidence of abuse in their seafood sectors, or No for all countries that don’t have evidence of abuse.
• Flag of convenience. Select Yes to highlight all countries that serve as a flag of convenience by allowing registry of foreign vessels, or No for all countries that don’t serve as a flag of convenience.
• EU yellow/red card. Select Yes to highlight all countries that have an EU yellow or red card, or No for all countries that don’t have an EU yellow or red card.
• Failure to ratify key treaties. Select Yes to highlight all countries that have failed to ratify one or more key treaties or conventions, or No for all countries that have ratified all key treaties or conventions.

Note that the filters are additive when more than one is used. For example, selecting the Evidence of abuses filter’s Yes value and the Flag of convenience filter’s Yes value will isolate those countries that have both evidence of abuses and a flag of convenience.

Detailed Country Profiles

Each country featured in the tool has a profile that provides additional detail on any evidence of forced labor, child labor, and/or human trafficking in seafood and risk factors, along with links to sources of the information.

You can reach the country profile by clicking on the country on the world map.
