The season's final podcast outlines key takeaways and looks ahead at what action is required globally to address illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in a warming world. Hosts Grace Evans and Lauren Young explore some of the solutions suggested throughout the series for addressing IUU fishing. As climate change alters the nature of IUU activity, those charged with responding also need to adapt. Some of the proposed solutions require the involvement of law enforcement agencies, while others will need a broader global effort. Part Two: The Deep Dive In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Kevin He and Barbara Hutniczak to take a deeper look at what action is needed if we are to effectively address IUU fishing in a warming world.

As climate change alters the nature of IUU activity, those charged with responding also need to adapt. Some of the proposed solutions require the involvement of law enforcement agencies, while others will need a broader global effort. Part One: Themes and Concepts In Part One, Grace and Lauren are joined by experts from around the world to discuss the role that local communities and major importers have in tackling IUU fishing.

This penultimate episode of the series explores the challenges and opportunities for monitoring and enforcement efforts. Policing our vast oceans is already presenting many difficulties, and with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing operators set to adopt new behaviours in a warming world, how can enforcement efforts adapt to tackle the threat? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Peter Horn, Aaron Delano-Johnson and Tom Hlavac to take a deeper look at how illicit fishing laws are enforced across the vast expanse of the world's oceans.

This penultimate episode of the series explores the challenges and opportunities for monitoring and enforcement efforts. Policing our vast oceans is already presenting many difficulties, and with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing operators set to adopt new behaviours in a warming world, how can enforcement efforts adapt to tackle the threat? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to discuss how climate-induced declines and displacement of fish stocks change the nature of IUU activity, and how those charged with responding will also need to adapt.

This two-part episode focuses on organised criminal fishing, including its convergence with other crime types. With fish stocks set to decline and shift, will organised criminal networks become more sophisticated in accessing shrinking fishing grounds, and will there be an increase in associated crimes? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Lauren and Grace are joined by Gina Fiore, officer with the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Alfonso Daniels, an investigative journalist and researcher based in London, who have both contributed to a recent RUSI research paper entitled 'Future IUU Fishing Trends in a Warming World'.

This two-part episode focuses on organised criminal fishing, including its convergence with other crime types. With fish stocks set to decline and shift, will organised criminal networks become more sophisticated in accessing shrinking fishing grounds, and will there be an increase in associated crimes? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to begin exploring organised criminal fishing operations and how they intersect with other crime types.

This episode, in two parts, focuses on the inland challenges arising from climate change, including the implications for freshwater fisheries. With the interconnected impacts of climate stress on land and at sea and shrinking freshwater fish stocks due to climatic change, how will global illegal fishing trends alter? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Sarah Glaser, senior director at the World Wildlife Fund, and Colleen Devlin, research associate and project leader of the Fisheries Conflict Database for Secure Fisheries, join Lauren and Grace for a deep dive into the themes addressed in part one, including what IUU fishing looks like in the Great Lakes region of North America.

This episode, in two parts, focuses on the inland challenges arising from climate change, including the implications for freshwater fisheries. With the interconnected impacts of climate stress on land and at sea and shrinking freshwater fish stocks due to climatic change, how will global illegal fishing trends alter? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests Guido Herrera, Oluwole Ojewale, Sarah Glaser and Colleen Delvin join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to begin exploring how climate change will impact illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU)fishing in communities reliant on rivers and lakes.

This episode, in two parts, focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? Part Two: The Deep Dive In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Beth Mendenhall, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, and Andreas Østhagen, Senior Researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo, to take a closer look at the complexities of maritime boundaries in the Arctic.    

This episode, in two parts, focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? Part One: Themes and Concepts For Part One, Grace Evans and Lauren Young speak to several experts to examine the complexities of maritime boundaries and explore how sea level rise, coastal erosion and changing weather patterns are set to alter the way we access and utilise the sea.
