The Last Fish Swimming: The Global Crime of Illegal Fishing by Gohar A. Petrossi

Description: The Last Fish Swimming by Gohar A. Petrossian This book examines the global, local, and specific environmental factors that facilitate illegal fishing and proposes effective ways to reduce the opportunities and incentives that threaten the existence of the worlds fish.Humans are deeply dependent on fishing—globally, fish comprise 15 percent of the protein intake for approximately 3 billion people, and 8 percent of the global population depends on the fishing industry as their livelihood. The global fishing industry is plagued by illegal fishing, however, and many highly commercial species, such as cod, tuna, orange roughy, and swordfish, are extremely vulnerable.Through criminological analysis, The Last Fish Swimming emphasizes the importance of looking at specific environmental factors that make illegal fishing possible. It examines such factors as proximity to known ports where illegally caught fish can be landed without inspection (i.e., ports of convenience), fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance efforts, formal surveillance, and resource attractiveness in 53 countries that altogether represent 96 percent of the worlds fish catch. The book calls upon the global community to address the illegal depletion of the worlds fish stock and other similar threats to the worlds food supply and natural environment in order to ensure the sustainability of the planets fish and continuation of the legal fishing industry for generations to come.
