Resources conflicts and managing maritime potential
Another area of concern is the building up of competition m water-based
resources that include fishing, marine products, and other forms of sea-water
living species. Cooperation is essential in light of the ever growing dwindling of
such food sources in the region. Conflicts at sea are bound to emerge and may
lead to open acts of aggression and even piracy in the guise of fishing. Crossing
boundaries in pursuit of fish has certainly been on the increase.
