Episode 5: Policing the Sea: Tackling Illegal Fishing in a Warming World

Policing our vast oceans is already presenting many difficulties, and with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing operators set to adopt new behaviours in a warming world, how can enforcement efforts adapt to tackle the threat?

In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI’s Lauren Young and Grace Evans to discuss how climate-induced declines and displacement of fish stocks change the nature of IUU activity, and how those charged with responding will also need to adapt.

In part two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Peter Horn, Aaron Delano-Johnson and Tom Hlavac to take a deeper look at how illicit fishing laws are enforced across the vast expanse of the world’s oceans.
