For the research, I visited sending countries including Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam to meet former migrant fishermen who used to work in Korean distant water fishing vessels. We not only met migrant fishermen, but also other stakeholders, such as recruiting and manning companies, governmental officers and NGO activists from respective countries.
