Briefly, South Korean ship seized off Somalia:

Pirates have seized a South Korean fishing boat off the coast of Somalia – the latest in a series of such attacks.

The Dongwon-ho 628, with a crew of 25, was fishing with
two other South Korean boats in international waters, when two
speedboats landed attackers on board.

US and Dutch naval ships gave chase, but held off when they saw the South Korean crew threatened with guns.

The boat is now in Somali territorial waters, but the Dongwon company says the crew is reported safe.

The South Korean squadron was 100km from the coast. How are the fishing stocks doing with all the foreign ships working the take?
