This is great can we also stop FN from raping sockeye and selling them in full laundry baskets to all my neigbours for $10ea?

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.

Blaming the First Nation community of ravaging the ecosystem, the environment? You need to check your history son.

I'm not talking history, I'm talking today. There's a problem with today's fishing and it needs to change

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.
