Drug Flows: Maritime Routes, Cocaine Seizures, and Coca Cultivation
This visual exploration examines four aspects of the cocaine trade using seizure and cultivation data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The first focuses on maritime trafficking, analyzing sea-related seizures in ports, harbors, rivers, and aboard vessels. The second explores cocaine paste (pasta básica), visualizing the scale and distribution of large interdictions. The third examines cocaine powder seizures, highlighting trafficking patterns and concentrations across regions. The final section shifts to the source, tracking coca cultivation trends in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. Through interactive visualizations, this exploration provides insights into where and how major drug seizures take place, offering a data-driven perspective on interdiction patterns.
