  • Fishers and Plunderers

    Alastair Couper, Hance D Smith et al.BOOKFishers and Plunderers2015

    Abuses and slavery at sea are largely missing from narratives of work and environmental exploitation in the mainstream. This book shines a light on the exploitation of fish and fishers alike in a global industry driven by profits. \n \nConservation and human rights in this industry are huge problems: with vast overprovision of vessels and shortages of fish, labour costs are targeted and young men are trafficked from poor areas onto vessels in vir…
