Thailand is the world’s third largest seafood exporter, reaping over $7 billion in revenues a year. But the profitable industry supplying Americans and Europeans with cheap seafood comes at a high cost to both the environment and to hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. Overfishing and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing has led to the depletion of resources pushing fishing efforts further off-shore, increasing the likelihood of IUU fishing, and compromising the sustainability of environmental resources. The increased effort for reduced catch as a result of overfishing/IUU fishing drives up costs, incentivising the use of forced labour.
