Human Rights Violations Consequent To Transshipment Practices In Fisheries, Chelsey F. Marto
Ocean and Coastal Law Journal
Transshipment, the process of transferring catch from a small fishing vessel onto a larger fishing vessel far off shore, has been used to commit a variety of human rights abuses on the sea.

These include imposition of sanctions upon countries who allow for nefarious activities, increased video surveillance on board …
