The Outlaw Ocean Project is an award winning non-profit organization solely dedicated to producing investigative stories about human rights, environment and labor concerns on the two thirds of the planet covered by water.
The first season of The Outlaw Ocean Podcast is a seven-part series that explores a gritty and lawless realm rarely seen, populated by traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways.
Ian Urbina is the director of The Outlaw Ocean Project. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including a Pulitzer Prize, two Polk Awards and an Emmy. He spent 17 years reporting for The New York Times and now regularly contributes to The New Yorker, The Atlantic, NPR, NBC News, and The Washington Post, among others. Several of his investigative stories have been converted into major motion pictures. In 2019, he published the best-selling book The Outlaw Ocean.
