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 world's 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 world's fish catch. The book calls upon the global community
to address the illegal depletion of the world's fish stock and
other similar threats to the world's food supply and natural
environment in order to ensure the sustainability of the planet's
fish and continuation of the legal fishing industry for generations
to come. Provides a criminological analysis of illegal fishing
through the application of two important environmental criminology
perspectives (rational choice and situational crime prevention)
Highlights the countries most at risk, i.e. hot spots of illegal
fishing, and the ports most frequently used to land illegally
caught fish Discusses environmental factors that increase or reduce
the risk of illegal fishing Includes summary tables on the most
vulnerable species and on global, regional, and local factors
contributing to illegal fishing Provides a toolbox of empirically
founded policy recommendations on how illegal fishing can be
stopped
