Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou's performance in the fisherman's tourism perception activity organized by the Ministry of Fisheries won him the admiration of local traditional fishermans, so when he called, Donald, Andrew and others came to his fisherman with friends.

After seeing Qin Shiou, Donald said: "You are right, Qin, if Dow Chemical is built here, once it becomes a chemical industry city, there will definitely be other chemical factories entering, and it will be too destructive to the fishery at that time." big."

Fishermen came with fishermen, and their arrival meant that there were more fishing boats on Farewell Island, and some people brought weapons, claiming that if Dow Chemical invited the police, they would have an armed confrontation with the police.

Hu Zhiyuan, the president of the DPS Association, knew the news through Weibo before. He didn’t come because he was organizing volunteers. This time he brought more than a hundred volunteers, including students and white-collar workers. Clothes, with the phrase "Wild animals pay for economic development" written on it, to irony that the Newfoundland government does not hesitate to destroy the natural environment in order to develop the economy.

Butler is most concerned about this matter. Daqin brand seafood is now his biggest source of income. If the chemical plant opens here, then there will be no pollution-free fish from the Daqin fishery entering the market, and his biggest brand will collapse.

This is absolutely unbearable for him, so he contacted his friends in the seafood industry and filed a complaint with the Newfoundland government, demanding that Dow Chemical should pay him high compensation if it builds a factory on Farewell Island.

St. John's media rushed to Farewell Island to follow up and report the incident, and their reports triggered more reactions from fishermen. People continue to come to Farewell Island to support the protests in Farewell Town.

Fishermen rely on the sea to eat, and they are the ones who hate factories the most. Although the Newfoundland fishing grounds were nominally destroyed by people's overfishing, research now shows that. The industrial explosion that began in the **decades is also responsible for this.

Even though the Ministry of Fisheries has carried out almost all-round protection of the fishing grounds, the waters of Newfoundland still failed to recover one-tenth of the peak production value, which is very incredible, because of the marine ecosystem. Should be self-healing.

Fishermen can't find the reason, they catch less fish every year, and there are still not many fish in the ocean, so why the fish's reproductive ability is so poor? They can only attribute the responsibility to the sewage factory, thinking that the pollutants have affected the vitality and reproductive ability of marine fish.

In just a few days, thousands of protesters from all walks of life gathered on Farewell Island. The transport ship of Dow Chemical was still parked outside the town pier, waiting for the company to send people to solve the protest problem before entering the town pier. .

But now it seems that the situation is not good. The transport ship turned around immediately and honestly returned to St. Johns Wharf.

The fishermen put up long banners at the pier of the town,

There were words such as 'protest against the government's inaction to restore the fishery' and 'cannot continue to destroy the fishing ground environment', and people came to add new banners every day.

Dow Chemical was very angry. They called the police on St. Johns, asking the police to send police to ensure that their reasonable investment was carried out normally, and accused the people in the farewell town of being a mob through the media.

The St. Johns Police Department received the alarm and naturally called the police. But Hamley told the chief of police about this in advance. After arriving in the town, the mounted police only maintained order and did not participate in the expulsion of protesters.

What Dow Chemical hopes is that the mounted police will clear the town's pier, but the mounted police don't care about these things. They perform their duties to maintain law and order, and they don't go near the pier.

The protesters on the pier were tough fishermen, and they came with guns, and real guns.

In contrast, the armed forces of the mounted police have fallen into a disadvantage because their actions need to comply with the law. according to rules. When participating in such protests to maintain law and order, they cannot bring real guns, only shields, batons and Tasers.

In this case, the St. Johns police should call the special police to solve the problem. But Hamre suppressed the matter on the grounds that although the protesters were armed. But no weapons were used, it was not aggressive, and special police should not be dispatched.

Dow Chemical pins its hopes on the provincial government of Newfoundland. The provincial government is not easy to manage now. This has something to do with Canada's political system. There is no direct jurisdiction relationship between the provincial government and the town. Country happens from time to time.

Now, for Dow Chemical and the provincial government, the most difficult issue is the issue of the leatherback turtle habitat protection area. I know there are so many relationships involved.

Canadians have a strong awareness of the protection of wild animals, especially where habitat protection areas have been confirmed, and their protection is more comprehensive.

This incident successfully focused the attention of residents in the cities along the North Atlantic Ocean. The topic of ghost ships and the Farewell Island protest incident have become the two most talked about things recently. The one that has the upper hand in public opinion is the Farewell Town, because they are The nominal underdog.

Dow Chemical has stated their innocence to the media over and over again: they have no problems with the procedures, the sewage discharge is up to standard, and the factory building was bought with money, so why can't they go to the island to build a production line?

The farewell town is even more innocent. Why should chemical plants be built around their lives? Why isn't Dow building a production line near its Ontario headquarters? What, agrichemical plants are not allowed in Ontario? Why the hell does Ontario not allow Newfoundland?

Qin Shiou talked about his leatherback turtle habitat protection area. He never mentioned the impact of building a chemical plant on his fishery. The staple food of the turtle is jellyfish, and it is the leatherback turtle that is finally injured.

The two sides started arguing about this matter, it doesn't matter in the farewell town, you can talk about it as you like, there is nothing to do in winter, and there are no tourists, so the big kids on rainy days-the idle is also idle.

They wished that this matter would become bigger. Farewell Island now relies on tourism to support its economy, so the more famous the better.

So after understanding this, the townspeople in Farewell Town protested even more vigorously, protesting to the media every day.

Dow Chemical can't afford it. They have already obtained a loan from the bank, and they have all the talents and equipment ready. If the production line is not put into operation for a day, then they will not make money for a day. For enterprises, if they do not make money, they will lose money!

But Dow Chemical had no other choice but to wrestle. The St. Johns police refused to expel the protesters by force. The pier was blocked, and their transport ships could not get close to the island to transport the equipment.

For the first time, Qin Shiou felt that living on such an isolated overseas island was pretty good, at least if there was a problem blocking the pier, it would be able to play the role of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not opening it. (to be continued~^~)
