What We Discuss with Ian:
💧 What makes the ocean the Earth’s final untamed frontier?
💧 Who has jurisdiction to enforce laws in international waters? For that matter, what are the laws, and who makes them?
💧 How does sl*very persist on the open ocean? Who is most vulnerable to finding themselves enslaved, and who is profiting from their misery?
💧 What percentage of the fishing that supplies Western cities with delicious seafood is illegal?
💧 What can we do to ensure we’re not supporting high crimes on the high seas?
💧 And much more…

There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world’s oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation.

Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways — drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina — director of The Outlaw Ocean Project and author of The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier — introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world’s economies rely. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
