#FishCrimes seriously undermine #ocean management & conservation and destroy people's lives. Here's is a quick summary of fish crime & illegal #fishing. I keep these videos short (a minute or less) so that folks will watch them and get inspired to come into action by informing themselves. There is of course a lot more detail available. I have worked extensively on exposing illegal fishing & human rights abuse at sea. It is one of the most tragic forms of ocean abuse out there. Criminals who don't care for the environment typically don't care about people and vice versa. The crimes go very deep. For those interested I am happy to point to reports & blogs both past & present that provide more detail. For the Ocean - Farah
