Deadly Water

Deadly Water /Jay Bahadur (published in 2011)

p.16

The lobster population off the coast of Eyl has been devastated by
foreign fishing fleets- mostly chinese, Taiwanese and Korean ships.
Using steel-pronged drag fishing nets, these foreign trawlers did not
bother with nimble explration of the reefs, they uprooted them,
netting the future livelihood of the nearby coastal people along with the
day's catch.

當我們看到新聞講述台灣船被海盜劫持而擔心船員生命安危時, 是否曾經想到
許多在亞丁灣靠海為生的人民因為漁船的捕撈而失去生計？為什麼海盜會劫持船？
他們也有保護自己的權利

之前就聽聞許多台灣遠洋漁業的消息, 譬如大肆在太平洋、或是非洲沿岸透過流刺網
捕捉魚群, 感覺台灣遠洋漁業有很多內幕, 應該要好好調查一下台灣遠洋漁業秘辛

p.19

We are not murderers, We've never killed anyone, we just attack ships.

代表商業利益的漁船進入, 海盜透過攻擊漁船, 希望可以減少漁獵對海洋資源的破壞，透過贖金也可以削弱資本主義侵略的力量。這也算一種正義吧？
