Alongside community activists and marine biologists we are developing opensource research methods for monitoring FMFO production and its effects throughout the Senegambian coast. Image 01: fishing vessels moored at Gunjur beach taken by LIMINAL researcher Alagie Jinkang, 2023.

In a week’s time, on 19 April, the judge of Trapani will issue his final decision in the pre-trial against the crew of the Iuventa, in what has been one of the most prominent attacks against the vital efforts of non-governmental rescue groups in the Central Mediterranean.

While the criminalisation of migrants and those who stand in solidarity with them is far from being over, the closure of the case against the Iuventa would send a strong message that rescue at sea is never a crime.

Recently LIMINAL researchers Giovanna Reder and Tareq Tamimi travelled to Calais & Gravelines where increasingly violent policing practices are targeting moments of embarkation - when asylum seekers are no longer in camps, yet not out at sea.
