Green Peace Ocean Slavery Report

BENEATH THE VAST blue of our oceans lies a reality rarely seen, one where freedom is stripped away, and human lives are exploited far from shore. The Ocean Slavery Report was created to give voice to those stories, uncovering the human suffering hidden behind illegal fishing and modern slavery at sea.

To carry this heavy truth with sensitivity, the report uses watercolor-style illustrations as its visual language. The softness of the medium reflects fragility, loss, and humanity, while its fluid forms echo the movement of the ocean itself. This approach invites readers to pause, feel, and connect, transforming data and testimony into an emotional experience rather than just information.

More than a report, this project is a call for empathy and action. By combining investigative findings with evocative storytelling and art, the Ocean Slavery Report urges readers to confront uncomfortable realities and stand in solidarity with those whose lives are trapped beyond the horizon, where justice must reach, even when the world is not watching
