Working on fishing vessels is considered one of the most hazardous forms of work.

That’s why countries that join the #FiTI are required to publish information on employment and labour standards in the fisheries sector.

Today, 24 September, the last Thursday of September in 2026, is #WorldMaritimeDay, which is recognized by the #UnitedNations to highlight the work of the #InternationalMaritimeOrganization and emphasize the importance of shipping and other maritime activities.

🌊 On #WorldMaritimeDay, we join IMO in highlighting this year’s theme: “From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence.”

Through the #BaselConvention, countries work to control transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes and promote their environmentally sound management. 🌍♻️

Take action TODAY for #WorldMaritimeDay. We still have time to defend these lifesaving protections, but we need to act fast.

This #WorldMaritimeDay, you can help advocate for safer, cleaner shipping. 🚢

The truth is, no matter where we live across the country, most of us rely on global shipping for everyday products. And while shipping plays a large role in the U.S. economy, it also exacerbates climate change. ⚠️

How can we see what vessels are doing far out at sea? 🌊

AIS broadcasts a vessel’s identity, position, course and speed, helping make fishing activity more visible and supporting greater transparency at sea.

Llewellyn Day Lothrop (1836-1922) owned a chandlery shop in Gloucester & patented inventions like a fishing swivel and “Lothrop’s Mechanical Fog Horn.” He made this exhibit case for the Columbian Exposition, the World’s Fair of 1892.

🌏 This World Maritime Day we demand better protection for seafarers.

Maritime activity does not exist in isolation from the ecosystems that surround it. Coastal wetlands protect coastlines and strengthen climate resilience.

As we mark #WorldMaritimeDay, it is important to recognize the ecosystems that connect our coasts and seas and the need to conserve them.

On #WorldMaritimeDay, let's revisit a post about the Port of Montreal, one of Canada's 17 port authorities and the largest port in Eastern Canada! 🛟🚢

Migratory species share the ocean with all kinds of vessels. Where their paths cross, strikes can seriously harm them. On #WorldMaritimeDay, our report Limiting Global Ship Strikes on Whale Sharks recommends measures to protect whale sharks and safeguard marine wildlife: www.cms.int/publication/...
