My little brother is fascinated by boats. He has shown me images of the incredible ship-breaking that occurs along the coast of Chittagong, Bangladesh. One of the course readings for this week included a picture of the dangerous ship-breaking that happens along this beach and it spurred me to do some research about this important environmental issue. Below is a youtube video which provides some idea of what working conditions are like at the Chittagong ship-breaking yards.
