The Pirate Coast
The Puntland Marine Police Force was established in 2012, resulting in a decline in piracy off the coast of Somalia. Instead of searching the vast Indian Ocean, they focused on identifying pirate activities along the coast. By targeting the pirate logistics, such as ships anchored near fishing villages, they were able to disrupt their operations. This approach, similar to how the US dealt with the Barbary pirates in the early 1800s, proved successful in reducing piracy.
