Qin Shiou wanted to continue floating on the sea for a while, but Zach radioed him that someone came to the fishing ground to find 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. He saw four or five people sitting in the living room.
"Who are you, please?" Qin Shiou asked suspiciously. He was not familiar with these people.
A bald middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with him, introduced himself and said, "Mr. Qin, Hello, Hello, we are all fishery owners like you, but our fishery owners are much smaller than yours."
Newfoundland is a big island, surrounded by a large number of small islands. Farewell island is a relatively large one, but there are many other small islands. These islands are high-quality fishing grounds.
Qin Shiou hurriedly said that it was polite words like his peers and heard a lot about him. The bald middle-aged man introduced several people. His name was Andrew Tucker. The other four people were also fishermen and were all his friends.
The fishermen spoke and did things directly. Andrew didn''t talk nonsense and said straight to the mountain: "Mr. Qin, we all know that you are a great fisherman. There is no doubt that you are a rich man, but you are different from other rich men. You really want to take care of the fishing ground when you buy it. "
Others nodded and praised Qin Shiou on this point.
Qin Shiou smiles bitterly. What is there to praise? Buying a fishing ground by yourself is to engage in fishery breeding, otherwise what kind of fishing ground would you buy?
Andrew went on to say that Qin Shiou understood his intention.
In the past, the purpose of Newfoundland fishing ground was to produce fish. At that time, there were few private fishing grounds, because there were plenty of fish in the sea, so there was no need to establish a fishing ground to breed.
In addition, the Canadian government is such a pee. When the fishery is very profitable, it firmly controls the resources in its hands. Later, the fishing ground gradually declined, and he began to sell outside cards.
At that time, fishermen also had ideas about private fishing. The national big fishing ground can''t count on it. They can only invest in fishing and make money. This private fishing ground is called "professional fishing ground".
At that time, it was mainly rich fishermen who bought fishing grounds, but no matter how rich they were, they couldn''t afford the bottomless investment of fishing grounds, and many fishing grounds were closed down.
At this time, the real estate industry in Canada began to heat up. With the process of urbanization and industrial development, urban pollution is becoming more and more serious. Many rich people like seaside villas and sea view houses.
Naturally, at this time, the fishery was controlled by some real estate developers. Under the guise of building a fishery, they bought it and used it for housing development. For those with more money, they can directly buy a fishing ground and build a villa to live in.
This kind of fishing ground is called "holiday fishing ground".
There is no doubt that the rich and developers who buy the fishing ground don''t really want to raise fish, they just want to enjoy the private beach. In this way, they naturally care about the house and the environment, but there is no investment in the fishery.
If Jiadeli fishing ground is a bit cruel, let alone invest in the fishing ground, it''s good that they don''t damage the fishing ground.
But the fishing grounds are connected. It is common for fish in one fishing ground to visit the fishing ground next door. In addition, fish farming can not rely on fish feed alone. Seaweed seeds have to be input to form a food chain with self circulation ability.
Then the conflict appeared. The fishermen invested a lot of money in aquaculture in their fishing grounds. There was no movement in several private fishing grounds next door. Their fish often went to other homes. How much was the loss?
In addition, the healthy growth of fish not only needs food, but also needs epidemic prevention and control.
Shaq, why do they sail out in batches every day? Because every day the fishing ground will catch and die of marine fish. If these fish are not fished out, they will be the source of infection, and the disease will be over.
However, we can''t expect those real estate developers and rich fishery owners to take care of these things. They only buy the fishery as a vacation villa. It''s good if all the fish and shrimp in the fishery are dead, so that the fishery can become a big swimming pool.
Therefore, the conflict between professional fishing ground and vacation fishing ground came.
These fishermen wanted to take Qin Shiou as their leader and call on fishery owners to hold a parade to ask the Ministry of fisheries to change the management regulations of the fishery.
Before, professional fishermen had held similar demonstrations, but they didn''t end up. This time, the Ministry of Fisheries took back Jiadeli fishing ground, which gave them hope.
After understanding the meaning of the fishermen, Qin Shiou smiled bitterly again. Canada is a capitalist society. Although it cries 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 mandatory to invest in the fishing ground every year, I bet it will make those rich men less arrogant." Andrew said.
Another fisherman complained, "it''s not just fishing. After those rich people bought a fishing ground, they ruined the atmosphere. Damn it, they always say that privacy and private fishing grounds are not allowed to be violated, but I can''t chase the fish to your fishing grounds when I''m fishing! "
This is the biggest conflict between the two sides. The owners of professional fishing grounds allow their neighbors to fish in their own fishing grounds. Fishing is not hunting. Sometimes it''s to catch up with fish at sea. It''s hard to say where the final destination is.
Therefore, there is a rule at sea that who a school of fish belongs to depends not on where it was finally picked up, but on where it was found.
"Yes, they are still so indifferent that they won''t lend a helping hand in the storm!" Another complained.
Qin Shiou said, "I think the best way to solve this problem is to talk to the neighboring fishing ground. It is unlikely that the government and the Ministry of fisheries will step back."
Andrew understood his subtext and didn''t say anything. He just told him that they would organize a large-scale protest in the near future.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "let me know after determining the time and place. I will participate."
Some things clearly know that there is no result, but they have to be done.
After seeing off the fishermen, Qin Shiou went to the Internet to search the fishing situation of Newfoundland fishing ground.
After more than 20 years of recuperation, the current situation of Newfoundland fishing ground is still not optimistic!
So far, the fishing ban has been implemented for more than 20 years, but the whole Newfoundland fishing ground is still like stagnant water. It is difficult to see a large group of precious fish species such as Atlantic cod and haddock.
In recent years, the number of large fish stocks has not recovered after the closure of fishing, but continues to decrease. It is said that the Ministry of fisheries is discussing the strategy of completely shutting down Newfoundland fisheries and St. Lawrence Bay coastal fisheries.
In those days, the uncontrolled predatory and indiscriminate fishing destroyed not only the fish, but also the ecological environment.
This makes many fish species change their living habits, even genetic variation, resulting in fundamental changes in their growth, maturity and reproduction.
This is the reason why Newfoundland fishing ground can''t restore fishery resources. Now the fish in the sea are no longer the fish of 50 years ago!
