Episode 1 Part 2: Chasing Fish: The Pursuit of Cooler, Deeper Waters
This episode examines climate-induced species distribution shifts and the impacts these have on fishers across the world, while also exploring the new opportunities arising from melting polar ice. With many marine species already shifting poleward to deeper waters, and with significant declines in marine catch potential expected in the tropics, what will be the impact be on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing? In Part Two, Lauren and Grace are joined by independent scholar Dmitry Lajus, Kevin He, economist and conservation planner at Pew Charitable Trust, and John Simeone, independent consultant at Simeone Consulting LLC. With support from our sponsors at the Pew Charitable Trust, we conducted a global horizon scan on climate change and IUU fishing to identify and prioritise threats and opportunities emerging over the next decade. Our guests for Part Two have been an integral part of this research from the start. --- Net Earth: The Environmental Security Podcast Season One In Hot Water: Illegal Fishing in a Warming World Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing is a multifaceted global threat – one that harms aquatic ecosystems, human security and regional stability, and that stands to evolve significantly in a warming world. As fish numbers and distributions shift in a warming climate and as sea levels rise, interactions between humans and the aquatic environment will alter. With the climate emergency accelerating, our experts discuss the ways in which the IUU fishing landscape is changing, exploring topics such as polar ice melt, contested EEZ boundaries, vulnerable local livelihoods, ownership transparency and crime convergence.
