Everybody loves Salmon right? Turns out they're not doing too good. In a shocking turn of events, Atlantic Salmon have been tangled up in a story of illegality and black market activity on the high seas that would make Jack Sparrow quiver in his boots, that's led to an Atlantic-wide collapse in their stocks.
How do boats get away with doing questionable things in the high seas? Turns out its simple: Flags of Convenience. That is, more than 70% of all merchant ships in the world have registered to a mere 5 countries in the world, for all the wrong reasons.
