What do we mean by crime or harm at sea?

Our project focuses on three major threats to the ocean:

🌍 Resource exploitation & biodiversity loss

🧪 Toxic waste & plastic dumping

🌡️ Climate change and its consequences

Denunciar per la via penal els responsables de grans iots que arrasen praderies de posidònia.

És una de les propostes que ha traslladat el professor Esteban Morelle-Hungría al Fòrum Marí d’Eivissa i Formentera. ↘️

🐚 We're thinking the ocean through justice, imagination, and critique.

Website: ocn.uib.eu

If you work on oceans, law, climate, storytelling, or science—we’d love to connect.

Thank you for joining us.

We're interested in how narratives shape the perception of justice and injustice at sea.

Who gets to define what is a crime in the ocean?
Whose voices are heard—and whose are ignored?
September 25, 2025 at 12:08 PM
Our approach is interdisciplinary. We explore how these problems are represented, understood, justified—or silenced—through:

📚 Literature & cinema

🧪 Ocean science

🧑‍⚖️ Law & maritime legislation

🌐 Environmental politics & policy

🗣️ Media & public discourse
September 25, 2025 at 12:08 PM
We explore how these threats are represented through narratives & how they relate to 3 central problems:

🌊 A contested ocean: Who owns the sea? Who speaks for it?
⚖️ Violations of human rights and sustainability
❓ Uncertain criminology: What counts as a crime at sea and who decides?

🌊 Hello BlueSky. We are Ocean Crime Narratives, a ERC @erc.europa.eu project based at the Universitat de les Illes Balears @uib.cat
We study how crime and environmental harm in the ocean are narrated across literature, film, science, environmental policy, and law.
