In 2015, the European Union issued a yellow card warning to Taiwan’s fisheries. The proclamation coincided with several high-profile cases of hostility between boat captains and foreign fishermen, causing widespread concerns around the fishing industry. Following these incidents, most research on foreign fishermen in Taiwan have focused on governance of offshore fisheries, emphasizing management and protecting the rights and interests of foreign fishermen. However, labor scenes and everyday life of fishermen inbound fisheries have gained much less attention. This study explores the relationship between foreign fishermen's living adaptation and fishing port facilities from two perspectives - through the framework on migration infrastructure and human security. Migration infrastructure provides insight into understanding cross-border population mobility. However, different infrastructures conform to different rules. Continuous does not mean safety and convenience are not the same as being respected. Therefore, the human security perspective accentuates different nation-states by examining how migration infrastructure in receiving countries fail to react and respond. This research investigates local foreign fishermen and migration infrastructure in 17 out of 67 fishing ports in Penghu. We found that the dispersion and different sizes of Penghu fishing ports affected the composition of the foreign fishermen's community and their daily adaptations. Humanitarian groups were less likely to pay attention to foreign fishermen in Penghu due to its remote location from the main island. Therefore, we noticed that some employers often not only abused foreign fishermen, the of lack of infrastructure such as hot showers and toilets in fishing ports was also a pressing concern. At the same time, there were also foreign fishermen who maintained friendly relationships with their employers. They were able to obtain simple spaces and materials to build their own rooms. These facilities contributed towards adapting to living in a foreign land in some fishing ports. |
