6 | Wild West Of The High Seas

Did you know that pretty much anything goes in international waters? Past a certain point somewhere beyond the coast, national jurisdiction ends and the Wild West begins. There's no police force for the ocean, so with rampant piracy, smuggling and illegal fishing - who's in charge? Maritime lawyer Richard Caddell joins Hannah in the studio.

Also - we meet Steve Truluck, whose life changed when he started watching whales off the coast of Scotland. His work with Orca Watch brings that joy to other people.

Follow us on IG, X and TikTok for bonus content and to see Steve's footage of killer whales for yourself: @oceanspod.
