I stood on the edge of a cliff in Howth, clipped into a harness, listening as a Coast Guard officer calmly checked the ropes that were about to lower me down.

Recovered CWMs continue to pose worker and food safety risks. Because of ocean drift, storms, and offshore industries, sea-disposed CWMs locations are largely unknown and potentially far from their originally documented dump site. The three incidents exposed at least six crew members to mustard agent, which causes blistering chemical burns on skin and mucous membranes.

From humongous megaships to luxurious yacht-like vessels, cruise travelers all love to grumble about the same thing-taking time out of their first day on board to complete the mandatory safety drill.

Countless books, movies and television shows chronicle the adventures (or misadventures) of people stranded on remote islands. Consider, for example, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, the beloved Tom Hanks movie and the classic 1960s sitcom " Gilligan's Island."

Jacob Rajaniemi's exact cause of death is being investigated along with the exact amount of time he'd been in the water before he was found, said Emily Fuller, a public information specialist with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. "Our marine unit is conducting a boating accident investigation and the coroner's office is conducting their death investigation, so once those are both complete we should have a better idea of what happened," Fuller told The Press Democrat.

The latest bombing brings the total death toll from US boat strikes to 125 since September, raising human rights concerns. The administration of President Donald Trump has announced United States' latest boat strike in international waters, which killed two people in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Maximo Macanas, a McKinleyville resident, was discovered by a local sport vessel on Tuesday, according to a Facebook post by the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office. He was pronounced dead by the county coroner's office on Tuesday afternoon. Macanas was fishing with a friend and his children at the Klamath River near 4351 Klamath Beach Road when he was swept away Saturday afternoon by what the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office described as a sneaker wave,

On September 14, Alejandro Carranza, a 42-year-old fisherman, set out to sea from a remote town in La Guajira, Colombia's northernmost province, bordering Venezuela. It was an ordinary fishing trip, in search of tuna and marlin, said Leonardo Vega, a childhood friend and the president of the fishing association Carranza belonged to. But this time, Carranza never returned.
