As part of her PhD research, doctoral candidate Frida Bengtsson at the Stockholm Resilience Centre did something that had never been done before. Together with her fellow researchers, she mapped the owners of the world’s reefers - a type of vessel associated with both illegal fishing and human rights abuses.
Hear her explain what was hidden behind the complex web of registered owners and flag states.
A link to the thesis and the mapping can be found in the comments.
