"The study also points to a convergence of other major factors that leads individuals to risk their lives and die on the water. These factors include scarcity of fish due to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, overfishing, and climate change."

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

New report: More than 100,000 fishing-related deaths occur each year—which is 3-4X previous estimates—according to a @fish_safety study.

One key driver? Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. https://t.co/ye3HtgP1Cg

New dataset alert: The Fisheries Conflict Database codes information on the frequency, causes, and consequences of fisheries conflict in Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Yemen between 1990 and 2017.

[Colleen Devlin @DevlinColls]

My co-authors and I joyfully welcomed this 13 page, 46 sources bundle of research into the world on December 7th. I can't wait to see all the places you'll go, little codebook. #FisheriesConflict

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

#FisheriesConflict is a critical threat to the stability & health of communities. Read about how we are investigating this issue in our recently published paper in @JPR_journal https://t.co/9BNOCPzCr8 @DevlinColls @SGlaserSF @jelambert_ @villegci

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

Today in @ScienceMagazine, @DrRashidSumaila + 295 scientists (including our @SGlaserSF) call on the @wto to end harmful fisheries #subsidies to #StopFundingOverfishing. Read here: https://t.co/28GPjpCe36 (1/5)

Great research by a great team! #FisheriesConflict

[Ciera Villegas-Hernandez, PhD @villegci]

Friends & colleagues, I am so excited to share that my very first, first-author pub, has been published! Great big shout-out to @nicolas_andujar, @planet_watson, @SGlaserSF, Michael Harte.

I had the great opportunity to speak about our fisheries conflict research as a part of @geography2050. Thank you to @AmericanGeo for promoting a dialogue around the fate of our oceans and those who depend upon them! @SecureFisheries

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

Today on @geography2050: The #Ocean as a contested environment. @DevlinColls lightning talk is available to watch on demand here and presentation on #mairitimesecurity and #conflicts will be on all day. https://t.co/8zSkwZ1yTq

[Colleen Devlin @DevlinColls]

@jubbajama14 @NatGeo @geography2050 @OEForg You're absolutely right. Somali fishers only participated in 10% of the fisheries conflicts we recorded. The most common actors by far were foreign fishers. @SecureFisheries #IUU

[Colleen Devlin @DevlinColls]

“This is a textbook example of human trafficking at sea and it is clearly linked to IUU fishing.”

Natural resources are often a cause of civil #conflict but may not be included in #peace agreements. What happens if agreements exclude key natural resource stakeholders? Find out now in our new report! Collab with @OEF_Research @EricErickeels

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

With only a narrow sea between them, #Yemen and the #Somali region have historically shared waters for fishing and trade, but #piracy and the presence of foreign anti-piracy forces complicated the relationship. Read more in a new blog by @DevlinColls: https://t.co/c7tcH2ZWwY

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

#RoughSeas found 3 distinct #conflict periods & characteristics:
1⃣ between domestic and foreign fishers,
1998–2000
2⃣ driven by #piracy in #Somali waters, 2007–2010
3⃣ resulting from the return of foreign fishing fleets,
2014–2015
More details: https://t.co/GF0ciyNsHy

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

Our new report, #RoughSeas, finds the leading cause of #fisheriesconflict in #Somali waters is foreign fishing, whether legal or illegal. Other main causes: #IllegalFishing, weak governance, territorial disputes, and #piracy. What can be done? See thread! https://t.co/GF0ciyNsHy
