Think of that iconic scene near the end of Finding Nemo &#8211; when the gang finds themselves caught in a monstrous purse seine net along with a school of tuna. While these fictional characters manage to escape, real fish in the ocean aren\u2019t as lucky.

By now, we\u2019ve all seen countless images of helpless turtles caught in drifting nets. But did we know that in addition to being ecologically destructive, high seas industrial fishing is also largely unprofitable?<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_88458\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88458\" class=\"wp-image-88458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/dd90ff19-gp01b4t_web_size_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Turtle in a Trap\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-88458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A turtle is caught in a fishnet trap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A recent study that used satellite data and machine learning to estimate high-seas fishing effort, costs, and benefits, found that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220422193241\/https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/sciadv.aat2504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">up to 54% of high seas fishing grounds<\/a> would be unprofitable if not propped up by government subsidies and extremely low labor costs.<\/strong> Government subsidies have been known to prop up several ecologically damaging and unprofitable industries (*ahem* fossil fuels), so this is hardly surprising. While it\u2019s easy to estimate the role that subsidies play in propping up this industry, it\u2019s much more difficult to determine exactly how much of this industry is subsidized by low labor costs.<\/p>\n<p>The secrecy and lack of data around labor costs meant that researchers had to work with low and high estimates to determine profitability. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220422193241\/https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/sciadv.aat2504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their calculations<\/a> found that even with the lowest possible estimates of labor costs, around 19% of the world\u2019s high seas fishing grounds would be unprofitable, and with higher estimates, this would jump to a staggering 30%.<\/p>\n<p>For several years now, the global Greenpeace network has shone a light on the inhumane conditions faced by migrant fishers aboard high-seas fishing vessels. As fish populations collapse and fishing vessels have to go further out at sea, transportation and refrigeration costs have increased. While these costs are fixed, labor costs are more flexible. <strong>This is especially true far out at sea, where isolation and lack of oversight render fishers, who are often migrants with few legal protections, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/research\/choppy-waters-forced-labor-illegal-fishing-seafood-taiwans-distant-water-fisheries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more vulnerable to debt bondage, wage deductions, long working hours, and even physical abuse<\/a>.<\/strong> Shocking recent cases of deaths of fishers aboard vessels have further highlighted the extreme and systemic issues of forced labor in this industry. <strong>For instance, the US Customs &amp; Border Protection\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/news\/greenpeace-responds-to-us-government-finding-on-use-of-forced-labor-on-taiwan-fishing-vessel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent finding confirmed the occurrence of forced labor on a Taiwanese fishing vessel, the <em>Da Wang<\/em><\/a>, where a migrant fisher recently died after being allegedly struck in the head by the vessel\u2019s captain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/engage.us.greenpeace.org\/h4XAuWr4BUej5RLxL_y3lQ2?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=bumblebee&amp;sourceid=1008304\">Take Action Now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For all their efforts to cut labor costs, the profits vessel operators and owners claim are paltry compared to the brands and retailers who ultimately sell us fish in the grocery stores of the world\u2019s richer nations. In 2018, tuna vessels worldwide netted $11 billion. Yet grocery stores earned almost four times that amount from their sales of tuna products in the same year. Our local corporate grocer and tuna brands may not directly employ the migrant fishers who spend months or even years at sea hauling thousands of pounds of tuna for over 16 hours a day, but their sourcing policies and business practices set the tone for the entire industry. <strong>These companies have a responsibility to enact policies that ensure the fish they sell is not tainted by environmental and human rights abuses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bumble Bee, one of the largest tuna brands in the US, has recently been linked to these human rights abuses.<\/strong> Its parent company, FCF, admitted to sourcing tuna from the Da Wang, the aforementioned vessel where a fisher died onboard.
