Golden Fishery

v2 Chapter 988: . A lively island

  Qin Shiou's performance in the fishery owner's travel awareness activities organized by the Ministry of Fisheries won him the admiration of the local traditional fishery owners, so when he called, Donald, Andrew and others came to his fishery with friends.

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

  The owners of the fishing grounds came with fishermen. Their arrival meant that there were more fishing boats on the farewell island, and some people carried weapons, claiming that if Dow Chemical invited the police, they would engage in an armed confrontation with the police.

Hu Zhiyuan, the president of the DPS Association, learned of the news through Weibo before. He was not here to organize volunteers. This time he brought more than one hundred volunteers, including students, white-collar and blue-collar workers. These people are dressed in uniform. The clothing, with the phrase "wild animals pay for economic development", is a mockery of the Newfoundland government's practice of destroying the natural environment in order to develop the economy.

  Butler is most concerned about this. Daqin brand seafood is now his biggest source of income. If a chemical plant is opened here, there will be no pollution-free fish in the Daqin fishery to enter the market, and his biggest sign will collapse.

  This is something he absolutely cannot afford, so he contacted friends in the seafood industry and lodged a complaint with the Newfoundland government, demanding that if Dow Chemical builds a factory on Farewell Island, he will have to pay him a high amount of compensation.

  St. John’s media heard the news and rushed to Farewell Island to follow up and report on 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 look to the ocean for food. They are the people who hate factories most. Although the Newfoundland fishery is nominally down by people’s overfishing, it is now believed by research. The industrial explosion that began in the 1980s and 1990s is also responsible for this.

  Even though the Department of Fisheries has carried out nearly all-round protection of the fishing grounds, the Newfoundland waters still failed to recover one-tenth of the peak production value. This is very incredible because of the marine ecosystem. Should have the ability to repair itself.

  The fishermen can’t find the reason. They rarely fish every year, and there are still not many fish in the ocean. So why is the reproductive capacity of fish so poor? They can only attribute the blame to the pollutant factories, believing that the pollutants have affected the vitality and reproductive capacity of marine fish.

In just a few days, thousands of protesters from all walks of life gathered on the farewell island. Dow Chemical’s transport ship was still parked outside the small town wharf, waiting for the company to send people to solve the protest problem and then enter the small town wharf. .

  But now it looks bad. The transport ship immediately turned around and honestly returned to St. John's Wharf.

  The fishermen pulled up long banners at the pier of the small town, with words such as ‘protest against the government’s resumption of fishery inaction’ and ‘cannot continue to destroy the environment of the fishing grounds’. New banners were added every day.

  Dow Chemical was very angry. They called the St. Johns side and asked the police to send police to ensure that their reasonable investment proceeded normally. They also accused the people in the town of saying goodbye to the mob through the media.

  The St. Johns Police Department will naturally go out after receiving the alarm. But Hamley talked to 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 the protesters.

  Dow Chemical hopes that the mounted police will clear the pier in the small town, but the mounted police do not take care of these things. They perform their duties to maintain law and order and do not go near the pier.

  The protesters on the dock are sturdy fishermen. They came with guns, and they were real guns and live ammunition.

  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 the regulations. When participating in such protests to maintain law and order, they cannot bring real guns, only shields, truncheons and taser.

  In this case, the St. Johns police should ask the special police to come forward to solve the problem. But Hamley suppressed the incident on the grounds that the protesters were armed. But no weapons were used, they were not offensive, and no special police should be dispatched.

Dow Chemical puts its hopes on the Newfoundland provincial government. The provincial government is not easy to manage. This is related to the Canadian government. There is no direct relationship between the provincial government and the town. The mayor’s provincial council is here. It happens from time to time in the country.

Now for Dow Chemical and the provincial government, the most difficult problem is the leatherback turtle habitat protection area. They did not care about this at the time, thinking that Farewell Island is just a small island outside the land. Know that so many relationships are involved.

   Canadians have a strong awareness of wildlife protection, especially where habitat protection areas are confirmed, and their protection is all-round.

This incident successfully focused the attention of residents in the cities along the North Atlantic. The topic of ghost ships and the farewell island protests have become the two most talked about recently. The dominant public opinion is naturally farewell to the town, because they are The weak in name.

  Dow Chemical stated their innocence to the media over and over again: they have no problem with the procedures, the sewage is up to the standard, and the factory is bought with money, so why can't it be built on the island?

  Farewell to the town, it’s even more innocent. Why build a chemical plant around their lives? Why doesn't Dow Chemical build a production line near its Ontario headquarters? What, Ontario does not allow the construction of agricultural chemical plants? Why does Ontario not allow Newfoundland to allow it?

Qin Shiou took his leatherback turtle habitat protection area and talked about it. He never mentioned the impact of building a chemical plant on his own fishery. Instead, he said that if sewage is discharged into the sea, the jellyfish will accumulate toxins when filtering the seawater, and the leatherback The staple food of turtles is jellyfish, and leatherback turtles are ultimately injured.

  The two parties started to wrestle around this matter, saying goodbye to the town, it doesn’t matter how you love to talk about it, there is nothing to do in winter, and there are no tourists, then the big kids in the rainy day-idle is idle.

  They can't wait for this incident to be even bigger. Farewell Island now relies on tourism to support its economy. The bigger the reputation, the better.

  So after understanding this, the residents of the farewell town protested more vigorously, and they protested to the media every day.

  Dow Chemical can’t handle it. They have already borrowed from the bank, and the talents and equipment are all ready. If the production line is not put into operation for a day, then they will not make money for a day. For a company, if it does not make money, it is a loss!

  But Dow Chemical had no other choice but to wrestle. The St. John's police refused to force the protesters to expel the protesters. 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 overseas island was also quite good. At least he would have problems blocking the pier, and he would be able to act as a master. (To be continued~^~)
