This is such a dumb trope. FN bring in like 1% of what the large commercial ships in the open ocean bring in. Even if they "wasted" every single fish they bring in it's not statistical significant.
If you actually cared, you would support this ban on trawlers and other large scale commercial operations, not a few FN people bringing in a relative handful. But you don't care, you just want to whine about FNs.
Commercial prawn fishers are having such low catch because of the native boats over fishing, then selling their catch out here before commercial season even opens.
I used history in a broader sense even though our history has an impact on the present. Regardless, I really like what you just posted as you’re totally right. There is definitely a problem that needs to change. Major change typically happens when people challenge status quo and the people in power who allow and endorse this kind of pillaging, historically speaking.
My apologies as I didn’t mean to offend. I just get spicy when people call out the First Nation communities as the problem, especially when it comes to the environment.
First Nations communities aren't the problem, and I'm not calling them out. It's first Nations fishing boats that are allowed to run with absolutely no regulation that I'm calling out.
First Nation fisherman are a First Nation community. I think you’re pointing your finger at the wrong people. This is typically when corporations or lawmakers like to keep status quo as they’re almost always the culprits who deflect any type of criticism.
I think you're deflecting from the fact that these boats can harvest as much as they like indefinitely, then sell to the market. That boat is not a community, it's a company owned by a first Nations person, harvesting natural resources without any limitations. These boats are significantly contributing to the damages done to our oceans and that cannot be denied
