Investigative reporting about activities at sea is a unique specialty requiring distinct tools and tactics. How can I find open-source footage evidence of human rights abuses or illegal fishing on ships? Is it possible to connect ships to the specific seafood buyers? Is there a way to track ships even when they turn their locational transponders off? This tool, called The Ocean Investigations Guide, is meant for journalists, law enforcement, and researchers. It’s written in a question-and-answer fashion to keep the material as focussed as possible.
Some of the resources require fees or might entail a researcher or journalist or advocate getting permission from the provider. Under the editorial oversight of Joe Galvin, Susan Ryan and Austin Brush, the tool derives from methodologies that were involved in several Outlaw Ocean investigations conducted in recent years. Those include one focused on Libya and migrants crossing the Mediterranean, human rights and illegal fishing tied to China and global seafood, and food safety and labor problems in India and the shrimp industry.”
