Squid game on the high seas

The article discusses how climate change and shifting ocean temperatures are forcing South Korean fishermen to venture further into international waters to catch squid, a staple seafood in the country. Domestic squid catches have declined significantly, while high-seas catches have increased substantially. Experts note that warming waters are causing squid populations to migrate northward, prompting both local and foreign fishing vessels to seek new grounds. The issue raises concerns about environmental sustainability, human rights, and regulatory oversight, as South Korea relies more heavily on distant-water catches to meet domestic demand.
