Episode 4: Fishy Business: Where Illegal Fishing Converges with Other Crimes

With fish stocks set to decline and shift, will organised criminal networks become more sophisticated in accessing shrinking fishing grounds, and will there be an increase in associated crimes?

In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI’s Lauren Young and Grace Evans to begin exploring organised criminal fishing operations and how they intersect with other crime types.

In part two, Lauren and Grace are joined by Gina Fiore, officer with the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Alfonso Daniels, an investigative journalist and researcher based in London, who have both contributed to a recent RUSI research paper entitled ‘Future IUU Fishing Trends in a Warming World’.
