Lydelle Joubert is from StableSeas.org, an organization that researches and tracks modern piracy around the world.  They act as an information resource for the maritime industry and create programs to combat piracy.

We’ll find out the difference between piracy, terrorism, and robbery. And we’ll dig into where the piracy hot spots are now.  And it’s not Somalia! We’ll also hear about what’s being done to combat piracy in the worst zones. Below is a map of the Gulf of Guinea region mentioned during the show.
