I agree with Peggy's comment about "the inevitable error of human
management, and the inability to protect the toxics from leakage"
I would add that while piracy is (IMHO) indefensible, the Somali piracy
problem gathered much steam after the central government collapsed in
1991. The immediate results were predatory overfishing by foreign
nations on the Somali coastline and the dumping of radioactive waste by
European firms, which prompted fishermen to attempt to defend their
waters and prevent the collapse of their fisheries.
