You’d probably have to offer the sailors a ride before the sinking the ship to be humane. Odds are not good the average crew member has much control of the fact they are fishing somewhere illegally.
- heartbeats 5y agoThat sucks for them, but would that be feasible? I don't know how much crew each vessel have, but say there's 20 people on each vessel. If there's 100 vessels, that's 2000 people you have to deport. Considering they might be lack identity documents, it seems like there would be a lot of red tape involved in deporting them properly. Especially if China will not have them. Since you can't execute prisoners once you've taken them, it seems like a very big risk to capture them, buying the pig in the poke so to speak. Is this correct?
- lostapathy 5y agoI honestly don't know what it'd take to re-home them. But the first time you sunk a fishing vessel with 20 kids on it, you'd have a global PR disaster.
- heartbeats 5y agoIf the vessel sinks, who would know? Would it be possible for the owners to distinguish "vessel was sunk by unmarked boat" from "vessel stopped communicating and hasn't come back yet"?
- lazyasciiart 5y agoIt's just as illegal (and immoral) to execute people before arresting them as after.
- heartbeats 5y agoCouldn't it be outsourced to a private corporation?
- neurostimulant 5y agoIndonesia has sunk more than 550 vessels related to illegal fishing between October 2014 to 2020. And all crews has been arrested and deported, none were killed. If Indonesia can do it, why other countries can't?
- heartbeats 5y agoIndonesia doesn't seem like it can do it. They still have illegal fishing, meaning it's more profitable to keep doing it. It seems like they could achieve 100% enforcement if they stopped the red tape.
