INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SALTWATER CROCODILES AND HUMANS IN NORTHERN AUSTRALIA AND TIMOR

This shortish (08:39) video (ABC News in-depth) shows croc attacks are a result of different factors.

Timor is very close to Australia. People living in villages near the coast depend on water. Although they are aware of the risks, they, more often than not, have no option but to enter the water to fish. It's their livelyhood. One result is more fishing boats. Another is saltwater crocodiles and people meet more often than before at the water's edge:
