And over 80% of ocean going fishing vessels are Asian, Europe has under 8% of the total.

% of fishing vessels off the east coast of Africa would be even more Asian.

Who did the pirate "cattle herders" lose their land to exactly?

Any dumping or fishing in Somali waters didn't cause the non-existent government but happen because of it, ie no functioning Coast Guard to enforce local laws.
