Probably India or Bangladesh - dismantelling the ships for the scrap. They beach them then start taking them apart by hand on the mud flats. It's a pretty gruesome site from the pictures I've seen and lots of pollution with little protection for the workers.

Alang, India.

I saw a documentary that "exposed" the practice. The locals want to be left alone!!
