146) Unveiling human trafficking and overfishing in the opaque global seafood supply chain with Shannon Service

Shannon Service is an award-winning, independent reporter and filmmaker who broke the story of slavery at sea for NPR’s Morning Edition in 2012. Her new feature documentary, Ghost Fleet, follows up on that story as she sets sail with a Thai abolitionist who is scouring remote islands for slaves who’ve jumped ship.   On this podcast episode, Shannon sheds light on the difficulties in regulating our global fishing industry; how overfishing is tied to human trafficking and modern-day slavery at sea; how to address "fish-laundering" and support more transparency and traceability in the seafood supply chain; and more.   Episode notes: www.greendreamer.com/146 Support the show: www.greendreamer.com/support Instagram: www.instagram.com/greendreamerpodcast
