Here we question the emerging narrative that illegal fishing is linked to organised crime

We find it's more likely linked to workers rights violation, forced labour, or modern slavery as opposed to drugs, arms, or human trafficking

We offer reasons why;

The bottom line answer to the question about why biodiversity matters is fairly simple: the rest of the living world can get along without us, but we can't get along without them.

In 2018, insurance to #IUUfishing vessel Cape Flower was cancelled following pressure from @OceanaEurope: https://t.co/rpte6rfyES The stateless vessel was boarded this June in the Indian Ocean. We call on all businesses to deny it services & assist efforts to shut it down!

[C4ADS @C4ADS]

Yesterday, CBP declared that it will prohibit any fish caught on the fishing vessel DA WANG due to reports of forced labor on the vessel. Let's explore the vessel’s opaque ownership and how it fits into a bigger picture of IUU fishing & forced labor:

Bolivia confirmed the FV Cobija had not been flagged to Bolivia since 2019, therefore the vessel is considered stateless. #IUU #PSMA #Stateless https://t.co/36T90j95at

This 1944 CIA memo, on how to infiltrate an organisation and make it dysfunctional, is amazing.

Once we lose a species we have lost it forever! 😱

Our bees and other #pollinators are dying. Without them, we wouldn't have 75% of the 🌎 food!

We need to protect our pollinators to preserve our #biodiversity and secure our future of food.

Transparency is critical for equity and effectiveness in fisheries negotiations. @QHanich and I have a new piece in Marine Policy examining transparency across key stages in the development of new fisheries conservation and management measures https://t.co/ADfHD5zHNH

[OceansAsia @oceansasia1]

An excellent piece in the @phnompenhpost making the case the #IUU #IllegalFishing is transnational organized crime, and needs to be treated as such!
