Corrigendum: The Need for Social Considerations in SDG 14

In the original article, there was an error that incorrectly reported data for fisheries workers who have been forced to work.

A correction has been made to the section “Labor Challenges in Current Fisheries Governance” in paragraph 1. The original sentence, “It had been estimated that around 24.9 million fisheries workers have been forced to work (OSA, 2020)” has been corrected to “It has been estimated that around 24.9 million people are victims of forced labor (OSA 2017), with an estimated 1.76 million workers in the fisheries and agriculture sectors (ILO, 2017a).”

The full paragraph reads:

“Fishing is important for the livelihood of millions of people. Approximately 59.5 million people worked in the primary sector of fisheries and aquaculture in 2018 (FAO, 2020a). Most of the workers live in developing countries, where a lack of controls and regulations make them especially vulnerable to labor abuse (OSA, 2020). It has been estimated that around 24.9 million people are victims of forced labor (OSA 2017), with an estimated 1.76 million workers in the fisheries and agriculture sectors (ILO, 2017a).”

Furthermore, a reference in the original article has been updated. The reference “ILO (2017). ILO Work in Fishing Convention No.188 (2007) Enters Into Force. Available online at: https://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/newsroom/news/WCMS_596898/lang--en/index.htm (accessed October 26, 2020)” has been updated to “ILO (2017b). ILO Work in Fishing Convention No.188 (2007) Enters Into Force. Available online at: https://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/newsroom/news/WCMS_596898/lang--en/index.htm (accessed October 26, 2020).”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
