NEW INVESTIGATION

Dispatches from nine countries on
the scourge of illegal fishing

 Today, InSight Crime and American University’s Center for Latin American & Latino Studies (CLALS) publishes the second installment of our multi-part investigation shining a light into the murky waters of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

A product of a year of on-the-ground reporting and interviews with experts, academics, authorities, and fishers, the investigation explores the array of predatory tactics, rogue actors and legal loopholes that fuel IUU fishing across nine countries:
Jamaica, Costa Rica, Panama, Suriname, Guyana, Ecuador, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina
