In [[1996]], [[Burgundie]]'s distant-water fleet began exploiting the fishing resources off the coast of [[Tierrador]], venturing into [[Tierrador]]'s EEZ in pursuit of abundant fish stocks. The fleet employed large-scale fishing techniques such as {{wpl|bottom trawling}} and {{Wpl|Seine_fishing#Purse_seine|purse seining}}, which had detrimental effects on the marine ecosystem and severely depleted local fish populations. | In [[1996]], [[Burgundie]]'s distant-water fleet began exploiting the fishing resources off the coast of [[Tierrador]], venturing into [[Tierrador]]'s EEZ in pursuit of abundant fish stocks.

By [[1999]] the unrestricted activities of [[Burgundie]]'s distant-water fleet caused great concern among [[Tierrador]]'s fishing communities, whose livelihoods depended on the sustainable management of their fishing resources.

The | By [[1999]] the unrestricted activities of [[Burgundie]]'s distant-water fleet caused great concern among [[Tierrador]]'s fishing communities, whose livelihoods depended on the sustainable management of their fishing resources. The local fishermen experienced a decline in catch sizes and struggled to compete with the well-equipped and efficient vessels of the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]]. The Tierradorian [[Maritime Defense Authority]] had a hard time catching these fishing ships as they were equipped with over the horizon radars to avoid being found. In 2000, the Tierradorian Navy was dispatched to assist the MDA in catching these vessels. | ||
[[Tierrador]] repeatedly protested against [[Burgundie]]'s fishing practices and the encroachment of their fishing fleet into their territorial waters, but had no hard evidence that it was occurring beyond their fishermen's accounts and very grainy pictures which were not definitive. Diplomatic negotiations and discussions were initiated to find a resolution, but the efforts were largely unsuccessful, leading to a gradual escalation of tensions between the two nations. | [[Tierrador]] repeatedly protested against [[Burgundie]]'s fishing practices and the encroachment of their fishing fleet into their territorial waters, but had no hard evidence that it was occurring beyond their fishermen's accounts and very grainy pictures which were not definitive.
