Description
Amazon.com Itâ€s becoming harder to disappear on this increasingly connected, overpopulated planet, so
if you're feeling hemmed in, maybe you should buy a boat. Three-fifths of the planet is covered in water, an
expanse so vast that anyone can seemingly get away with anything without consequence. The high seas have
always been where the illicit action is, and Ian Urbina—a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative
journalist—took to the waves to find it. And did he ever. Urbina traveled the globe on a risky mission,
hopping boats to amass a catalog of just about every contemptible human activity imaginable. Smugglers,
traffickers, pirates, poachers, stowaways, mercenaries, and polluters fill The Outlaw Oceanâ€s more than
400 pages, and the theme is overwhelming, often catastrophic degradation: of people, the environment,
borders, and the rule of law (or at least its illusion). In the frigid waters of Antarcticaâ€s Southern Ocean,
Urbina boards a vigilante vessel on a months-long, slow-burn chase of a notorious fish-poaching operation.
In the seaside brothels of Thailand, trafficked prostitutes attract young men who are themselves consigned as
slave labor on fishing boats. Armies of private “security― forces kill time aboard floating armories,
waiting for their next unofficial deployments. These crimes may seem isolated and remote—drops in the
ocean, so to speak—but they donâ€t occur in a vacuum, or for nothing; they support choices made every
day in government, in commerce, and in our homes. The Outlaw Ocean is illuminating, terrifying, and often
dismaying. Itâ€s also unique, vitally important, and strangely thrilling. —Jon Foro, Amazon Book Review
Read more 'The Outlaw Ocean brings the reader up close to an overwhelming truth... An impressive feat of
reporting... Urbina deftly reveals complicated ideas through his stories.'—The Washington Post
'This body of work is a devastating look at the corruption, exploitation, and trafficking that thrive on the
open ocean... The writing is straightforward but clever... Eerie and beautiful.'—Outside'The Outlaw
Ocean is enriched by Urbinaâ€s gifted storytelling about the destruction of marine life and the murder,
crime, and piracy that make the seas so dangerous for those who make their living on them.'—The
National Book Review'What we learn from Urbinaâ€s journeys is nothing less than the deepest aspects of
humanity itself. Dropped into a world without terra firmaâ€s systems and foibles, our darkest impulses
emerge. But our most noble intentions—to save, to protect, to establish fair rule of law—appear as
well.'—Paste“In The Outlaw Ocean, Urbina focuses that eye on understanding his characters and their
context to show why these crimes get committed and why the culprits rarely get prosecuted. Urbina goes
further than most to do this. He shows you a problem from the front lines, by talking to the people
there.―—Vice'New York Times journalist Ian Urbina explores a parallel world, spanning two thirds of the
Earthâ€s surface but almost entirely hidden from public scrutiny... With the worldâ€s seafood stocks in
crisis, Urbina lifts the thick veil on a global criminal culture, at just the moment when the damage inflicted
on the oceans is becoming terminal.'—The Guardian'The most valuable contribution of The Outlaw Ocean
may be to the literature, unfortunately quite extensive by now, of pessimism about human nature…in

aggregate his stories reveal that something like a Hobbesian state of nature still exists and is available to
anyone willing to float a few dozen miles offshore.―—The Wall Street Journal“The Outlaw OceanÂ
is an outstanding example of investigative journalism, illuminating some of the darkest corners of a world
we often don't think about… what he found ranges from horrible to shocking and from unfair to
unbelievable… a magnificent read… proof that outstanding writing is still one of the best tools we have to
get to know the world we live in.―—Gabino Iglesias, NPR“These chapters are vibrant as individual
stories, but as a collection theyâ€re transcendent, rendering a complex portrait of an unseen and disturbing
world. Urbina pursues a depth of reportage thatâ€s rare because of the guts and diligence it requires…
The result is not just a fascinating read, but a truly important document… It is a master class in journalism.―
—Blair Braverman, The New York Times Book Review'A fast-paced read, both riveting and harrowing.'
—Civil Eats“Not just a stunning read, this book is a gripping chronicle of the watery wild west and it
shows us—frankly unlike anything I've read before—how global indifference can trap innocent people in
endless cycles of exploitation, how the vast ocean has become a danger zone, and ultimately how we all pay
