About This Session

Maritime crime is a vast and often undercovered area of investigative journalism, in topics ranging from labor abuses to smuggling and environmental exploitation. But powerful new digital tools, satellite imagery, databases, and even marine hobbyist sites have transformed the ability of reporters to investigate ships, yachts, and fishing fleets. In this cutting-edge workshop, veteran researchers will share some of the latest tools and techniques for tracking marine vessels and their hidden owners.
