“Coastlines and ports of entry can be particularly susceptible to human trafficking, putting maritime employees in a good position to potentially see victims when they first arrive and before they enter the country’s transportation systems. (...) Areas of concern include, but are not limited to, trafficking onboard fishing vessels, people involved in search and rescue cases, and the recreational maritime sector. It’s essential that maritime employees are ready to recognize, react to, and report indicators of human trafficking."
