Health considerations are seldom integrated into non-state voluntary sustainability certification standards, despite industrial fishing being one of the most hazardous occupations, often resulting in significant health risks for fishers. These challenges not only affect individual fishers but also have broader implications socio-ecological fisheries. This study explores effects programs on activities and their safety dimensions within a framework, focusing Atlantic shrimp fishery Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative quantitative data collection techniques. Data were gathered from experienced employees Friend Sea (FOS) certified non-certified (Business-as-Usual, BAU) fisheries through questionnaires, complemented by semi-structured interviews with selected key informants. The examines relationships between demographic variables, health-related indicators, program participation using multivariate analyses, including Chi-square standard logistic regression models. findings revealed that participating FOS reported better conditions, lower risks, higher insurance coverage levels than BAU counterparts. Certified had greater access to sick leave annual days off more likely be physically fit work. Conversely, group faced significantly casualty rates during operations. results underscore critical role health-focused programs, such as FOS, improving well-being fishers, thereby enhancing Nigeria's industry. highlights importance integrating standards. By prioritizing fisher's well-being, contribute sustainable management resources environmental protection, aligning principles One framework.
