Life Among the Sea Slaves Although Adam Dean had photographed for The #NYTimes in Southeast #Asia before, he was excited to work with Ian Urbina on part of his investigative series, “The Outlaw Ocean.” He saw it as an opportunity to dig into a story and spend some time trying to find out what was really going in the violent, unregulated world of #fishing boats in international waters. The resulting article, #SeaSlaves #Burmese Catch Dinner for America’s Pets details the stories of #fishermen who have fled forced labor in #Thailand . He spoke recently with the deputy picture editor Beth Flynn about his experiences on the project. See the NYTimes for article.
