Jun 04, 2026Out of Sight, Out of Control: The global boom in destructive squid fishingReadOut of Sight, Out of Control: The global boom in destructive squid fishing
EJF’s latest investigation into unregulated squid fishing on the high seas has uncovered illegal fishing and human rights abuses on a shocking scale.
Every year, hundreds of industrial fishing vessels disappear into some of the most remote and unregulated waters on earth, where they fish for squid beyond the reach of any law, any observer, and any accountability.
Over the last 5 years, EJF investigators have gathered testimony and footage from over 400 crew members who have worked on board distant water squid vessels. What they have documented is a system built on environmental destruction and forced labour. Rampant overfishing, the killing of protected species, and widespread human rights violations are endemic across the global squid industry.

May 29, 2026Right to Reduce: Toxic-free reuse and reduction-enabling systems as real solutions to plastic pollutionReadThe "Right to Reduce" is a concept created by the Environmental Justice Foundation. This policy white paper asserts that the ability to reduce consumption of plastics and materials is a human right. It shows that today, individuals are systematically denied the right to reduce due to the dominance of plastics in everyday life, leaving people with little meaningful ability to avoid plastic consumption.
This right to reduce is guaranteed by establishing toxic-free reduction-enabling systems, challenging the current system of plastic overproduction and overconsumption, and rejecting false solutions.
