Oceans Of Crime | CNBC Documentaries

In this documentary from February 2018, CNBC takes viewers inside a fascinating and disturbing crime story set in one of the most lawless places on earth: our oceans, where perpetrators traffic in an illegal product, and front-line workers are modern day slaves. It's part of a multibillion-dollar outlaw industry funded by anyone who eats salmon, canned tuna, or sushi, though few are aware of the human and environmental wreckage left by illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. It's estimated that 90 percent of American seafood is imported, and more than a quarter of the fish caught at sea is captured illegally-with no regard for the law, national sovereignty, or the future of the species themselves. The epidemic now threatens the livelihoods of fishing communities around the globe and, ultimately, the world's food supply. In this deeply reported documentary, CNBC investigates the global fishing industry, and exposes the little-known and sometimes shocking means by which seafood arrives at our grocery stores and on our dinner plates.

Stop eating Seafood

[@vprrealtor6244]

As a customer, we do not have the skill and resources to tell if the seafood is actually caught by abused labor.

[@sineadfolan9473]

Better to not eat then unfortunately as no transparency whatsoever

[@OneAdam12Adam]

It all is.

[@anamaria91106]

This is why it is so important to eat at restaurants who fish locally. This makes me so damn sad.

[@berkshiresow]

All that aquatic death for something we don't even need to survive. All because people like the way they taste.

[@ajack1889]

The tradition of being “Shanghai’d” apparently continues into the modern day! Not much you can do when you’re hundreds of miles offshore in the open ocean. Those slaves are in a very bad position, being out at sea with a good crew you trust is harrowing, I can only imagine being out there against your will with no safety equipment.

This needs an update. Show us what’s changed

Thailand is quite dangerous but not too far dangerous as Philippines in ASEAN, but in the sametimes Thailand known as nice place with kind peoples. Unique country

[@Lifeisgoodbelieve1in3]

And this is why fish is not part of my main diet. As far as the Chinese fishing boats blown them up let the sharks eat their remains

[@edwardbtown2766]
