By combining fisheries data from the Sea Around Us initiative at UBC with country-level data on modern slavery, the researchers found that countries whose fleets rely heavily on government subsidies, fish far away from home ports, and fail to comprehensively report their actual catch, tend to fish beyond sustainable limits and are at higher risk of labour abuses.

Sea Around Us indicators now include Global Slavery Index
Thanks to a recently launched partnership with the Walk Free Foundation, the Sea Around Us indicators section now includes the Global Slavery Index.
Thank you @SeaAroundUs for including @SlaveryIndex alongside data on fisheries & marine ecosystems https://t.co/bu9CV2yTEX @JessicaMeeuwig
