Ecuadorian fishers

Ecuadorian fishers are being described as bearing the human cost of United States maritime power at sea, according to reporting from Iranian outlet Tasnim. The story frames US naval and maritime enforcement practices in the Pacific as harming the livelihoods and safety of small-scale fishing communities in Ecuadorian waters. Little independent detail on specific incidents is available, but the claim touches on broader tensions over US Coast Guard operations against fishing fleets in the eastern Pacific.
