Qin Shiou originally wanted to continue floating on the sea for a while, but Zack notified him by radio, saying that someone had come to the fishing ground to look for him and asked him to go back.

The fast cruise boat returned to the dock, Qin Shiou changed his clothes on the beach and entered the villa, and saw four or five people sitting in the living room.

"Who are you?" Qin Shiou asked suspiciously, he was not familiar with these people.

A bald middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with him, and introduced himself: "Mr. Qin, hello, hello, we are all fishermen like you, but our fishermen are much smaller than yours. ”

Newfoundland is a large island with a large number of small islands scattered around, Farewell Island is a relatively large one, but there are many other small islands around which there are good fishing grounds.

Qin Shiou hurriedly said that it was a peer, a long admiration and other polite words, and the bald middle-aged man introduced a few people, his name was Andrew Tucker, and the other four were also fishermen, all of whom were his friends.

The fishermen were very direct in their words and actions, Andrew didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, we all know you, you are a great fisherman." There is no doubt that you are a rich man, but unlike other rich people, you buy a fishery and really want to take care of it. ”

The others nodded their heads one after another, praising Qin Shiou on this point.

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, what is there to praise about this? Buying your own fishing ground is originally to engage in fishery farming, otherwise what kind of fishing ground to buy?

Andrew continued to say that Qin Shiou understood his intention.

In the past, the purpose of Newfoundland fisheries was to produce fish. At that time, there were relatively few private fishing grounds, because there were fish in the sea, and there was no need to build your own fishing ground to breed.

Other than that. The Canadian government is like that, and when the fishing grounds are very profitable, he keeps the resources firmly in his hands. Later, the fishing grounds gradually declined, and he began to sell them outside.

At this time, fishermen also had ideas about private fisheries, and the national fishing grounds could not be counted on, so they could only invest in their own fishing and then fish to make money. This type of private fishery is called a 'professional fishing ground'.

At that time, it was mainly wealthy fishermen who bought the fishery, but no matter how rich they were, they could not bear the bottomless investment of the fishery. Many fishing grounds have closed down.

At this time, Canada's real estate industry began to heat up, and with the process of urbanization and industrial development, urban pollution became more and more severe. Many wealthy people are in love with beach houses, sea view houses and the like.

Naturally, at this time, the fishery was controlled by some real estate developers, who used it as a housing development under the guise of building a fishing ground. If you are more wealthy, you can buy a fishing ground for yourself and build a villa to live in.

This kind of fishing ground is called a 'holiday fishing ground'.

There is no doubt that the wealthy and developers who bought the fish farms did not really want to raise fish, they just wanted to enjoy the private beachfront. In this way, they are naturally very concerned about the care of the house and the environment. But there is no investment in fisheries.

For example, if you are ruthless like the Gatoroli Fishery, let alone invest in the fishery, it would be good if they did not destroy the fishery.

But the fishing grounds are all connected. It is not uncommon for fish from one fishery to visit the next fishery, and fish farming is not enough to rely on fish feed, but to put in seaweed seeds to form a self-circulating food chain.

This is where the fishermen's farms invest heavily in farming, and the private farms next door do not move at all, and their fish often go to other homes. How big is this loss?

Also, there is more to the healthy growth of fish than just food. Disease control is also needed.

Shaq: Why do they have to sail out in batches every day? Because the fish are infected and die in the fishing grounds every day, if these fish are not fished out, they will be the source of infection, and the disease will be over.

However, property developers and wealthy fishermen cannot be expected to take care of these things, they only buy the fishery as a holiday villa, and the fish and shrimp in the fishery are dead, so that the fishery can become a big pool.

Thus, the conflict between professional fishing grounds and holiday fishing grounds came.

These fishermen came to Qin Shiou to call on the fishery owners to hold a march and get the Ministry of Fisheries to change the management regulations on fishing grounds with him as the leader.

Professional fishermen have held similar demonstrations in the past, but they have all failed, and this time the Ministry of Fisheries has given them hope that they will take back the Gatoroli Fishing Grounds.

Understanding the meaning of the fishermen, Qin Shiou smiled bitterly again, Canada is a capitalist society, although it shouts democracy, freedom, and equality, in fact, this country belongs to the rich, and the fishermen's idea is unreliable.

"As long as the Ministry of Fisheries is willing to introduce some regulations, such as how much money is forced to be invested in the fishing grounds every year, I bet that it will make those big guys restrain their arrogance." Andrew said.

Another fisherman complained: "It's not just the fishery, but the big guys who bought the fishing grounds and brought the atmosphere to the bad side." Damn, they always say that privacy and private fishing grounds are not allowed to be violated, but when I catch a school of fish, I chase the fish to your fishing ground, and it doesn't work! ”

This is the biggest conflict between the two sides, and the owner of a professional fishery allows his neighbors to come to his own fishery to fish. Fishing is not hunting, sometimes it is necessary to chase fish at sea for a long time, and it is difficult to say where the final destination will end.

So there is a rule at sea that who a school of fish belongs to is not to see where it is finally fished up, but to see where it is found.

"It's just that they're still so indifferent that they won't lend a helping hand in the face of a storm!" Someone else complained.

Qin Shiou said: "I think the solution to this problem is best to talk to the neighboring fishing farms, and it is unlikely that the government and the Ministry of Fisheries will regress on this kind of thing." ”

Andrew understood his subtext and didn't say anything more, just told him that they would organize a massive protest march in the near future.

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Notify me when the time and place are confirmed, and I will participate." ”

There are some things that you know will not come of nowhere, but you have to do them.

After sending off the fishermen, Qin Shiou went to the Internet to search for the current fishing situation in the Newfoundland fishing grounds.

After more than 20 years of recuperation, the current situation of Newfoundland's fishing grounds is still not optimistic!

More than 20 years after the ban was in place, Newfoundland's major fishing grounds are still stagnant, and large schools of precious species such as Atlantic cod and haddock are rarely seen.

Over the years, large fish populations have continued to decline rather than recover after the closure, and the Department of Fisheries is said to be discussing a strategy to shut down fisheries in Newfoundland and along the coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

At that time, the unbridled predatory overfishing destroyed not only the fish stock, but also the ecological environment.

As a result, many fish species have changed their habits and even undergone genetic mutations, leading to fundamental changes in their growth, maturation and reproduction patterns.

That's why Newfoundland's fishing grounds can't recover their resources, and the fish in the sea are no longer the same as they were fifty years ago! (To be continued) R580
