TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY

The seafood industry plays an essential role in promoting food security, employment, and a healthy economy worldwide. However, there may be a linkage between illegal fishing activities and transnational organized crime-such as human and drug trafficking, illegal fishing, and other forms of criminal activity.

This study found linkages between fishing vessels engaged in illegal fishing activities -marine living resource crimes- and trafficking persons for forced labor on board fishing vessels, drug trafficking, and other forms of transnational organized crimes.
