In 2020, the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation approached Stanford's Center for Ocean Solutions (COS) to help identify priorities for action on social sustainability issues in seafood supply chains. After years of collaboration with a range of partners, the result is IKAN, a digital platform designed to support migrant fishers in better understanding their rights, tracking whether contract terms are being met, and accessing information and support if problems arise.
