Re: Waste dumping
Well, duh!
Once you carefully "conserve" a reef, you wouldn't want anyone to come by and dump garbage (human or otherwise) on it, after all that work you've done to "make it yours", would you?
So you need to defend your newly conserved reefs (and, incidentally, all the water between them and you)
It is, of course, OK, when we (the US) does it...because Democracy and Freedom and stuff.
Turnabout is only fair play when we're doing the turning-about.
