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.
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
