Brazil Moves On 200 Mile Sea Rule Scuffle In Shrimp Fleet
Brazilian sailors fired on seven American shrimp trawlers near the 200 mile limit causing the fleet to withdraw. Donald Sahlaman reports a gunboat with aircraft overhead and a submarine beneath the ships as a Brazilian warship circled for hours. The incident follows Brazil’s assertion of a 200 mile exclusive zone and US responses affirming permission to fish within 12 miles.
