I worked in the early 80s for Whanganui trawlers and what I understood to be a joint-venture both Korean and Japanese. I'm keen to look back into their life in terms of the politics policies that popped me onto those this source, interesting to watch this documentary.
As a people we need to cut the crap . We getting fkd ova by all the rich getting richer and the rest of us suffer wake up people 1 people ,fk the govement keeping a device between our whakapapa
This is just tipacule of the way our govement have forgotten who they work for, …who is that you wonder ?. The people of New Zealand . And done worry there’s bald heads in every race including Parkea and Māori ,raping the country
Yeah I've never understood the Kiwis over the ditch, they allow massive foreign ships. Some of these ships catch, clean, package and ice down the fish ready for market. So no time wasted unloading fish at shore then travelling all the way back out, it's all done on the ship so they can keep plundering the ocean 24/7. This is an older doco but they still have foreign ships plundering the Kiwi's fishery. As for not knowing how to catch fish in deep water, why not hire some experts and learn from them, instead of allowing god knows how many ships in to help themselves. New Zealand with it's tiny population and once massive fishery, the amount of work it would've given is immense, the fishery would've been looked after correctly, Kiwi's fish consumption would be pushed by government etc and all would've been a winner. It must be corruption at some level, why would a government allow their country to be robbed of millions of dollars, it can't be any other reason, except stupidity and no one is that stupid
Stupid expedancy for a easy stuipid destrutive omision hand out. Show some courage 50% instead of stupid hand out for pretensous noise. Look at the inovation new zealand has on the land. Wealfare for those who cant fathom science and maths ,real earnings and managmrnt over stupid noises from a minority.
This issue sounds eerily similar to The US's *Open Boarder Policy*, does it not? There's lots that I'd love to "contribute" here but..... I'm not a Kiwi. "Laws only apply to the lawful." "Shoot the Chiefs, not the arrows." "When fishing is outlawed only outlaws will be fishing." "Follow the money" because it *WILL* lead to something interesting. "💩 stinks and runs downhill." "Management -attitudes, leadership, priorities, scope, tone, etc- starts at the top."
I am so amazed with this movie. No, I am not a fisherman, have been in th NZ Navy in the 1950/60's ass a reservisit and have a grand son who is a fisherman and that is why I took an interest in this movie. It is not unreasonable to ask why our Government is not doing something about all this. I do realize the big fishing industry people may have them by the short and curlies, but still cant understand why they cannot stand up to those people and firstly do something about the quota system that is been given to foreign vessels through white collar people that dont care for anything except the dollar which they, a a few, may spend locally while the majority of our fishermen cannot due to the way the imbalance on finance is spread. I do, as many see, the problems of bottom trawling is a problem to our environment but reducing these large factory ships, be they NZ owned or leased, were taken off our shores the footprint by our NZ owned and registered ships and boats would return the ocean bottom to an accptable level and possibly with the fish take returning that semi-pelagic trawling could be introduced and it would eleviate much of the environmental problem and let the fishermen control their own future. SO COME ON THIS NEW GOVERMENT, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, STAND UP FOR YOUR OWN CONSITUENTS AND PROVIDE LEGISLATION THAT WILL BENEFIT BOTH THEM AND THE ENVIRONMENT - DONT SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND LET THE HANDS OF THE MONEY HUNGRY BE CHOPPED OFF AT THE WRIST!!!!!!!
This video looks like it was uploaded July 2023, which is quite misleading - foreign flagged fishing vessels can no longer fish in NZ waters and haven't been able to for quite a while now. That's not to say there aren't still challenges for smaller commercial fishing operators, with the big NZ companies out there.
Absolutely disgusting that they are allowed to rape your waters like that, I remember a old purse seiner came here to Tassie from overseas years ago trying to outfish our local boats we used to let them have it with orange guns all up their side they eventually left but those fish should’ve been left for our vessels.. feel your pain guys keep up the good fight
How recent is this bro? Stumbled upon it and I am appalled at the large quota companies who are hiring these overseas boats, what a disaster. I knew the fishing industry was bad but I did not realise it was this bad. Something must be done, ridiculous. They are taking advantage of our country and our people.
The problem with NZ is the government are getting lobbied by the big fishing company's constantly and the gutless politicians pander to what ever they ask for and who knows what back door deals are going on as well. the quota system is a joke because of this, they set the quoter system so high that they might as well not even have one, and I know because I have been in the industry all my life I am disgusted the way the fish stocks in this country have been plundered.
Hi im from south africa I can supply you with whole fresh frozen hake fish , size 3,4,5,6 nice sizes , price is good also ,10kg boxes , I can send it by sea cargo to you
Its not about huge trawlers its about a globalisation each industry, look at them. They are all controlled by outsider corporations. Its the same in most countries! Everyone needs to become one and rid yourselves of your governments. They dont work for you.
Maori make a big deal about being caretakers of the sea. Fact of the matter is they are just greedy grifters. Corrupt at the highest levels. Always have been, always will be. Kai Tiaki my ass.
Easy kick foreign countries out of your waters. Just that simple. Give your coast guard the authority to board vessels and check records and make sure the vessels are seaworthy and that the vessels are complying with all the rules and regulations and that the preparation of the sea food is being done sanitarily to FDA standards and that the crew is being treated with respect and having a safe environment to work in. Plus getting paid their wages.
You reap what you sow NZ deep sea fisheries has been managed like a joke for many many years you get what you deserve pure greedy quota holders, rip off companies ,kiwi vessels dumping over catch totally mismanaged NZ should have one of the best fisheries in the world but thanks to a useless gov and really bad management know wonder you have programs like this totally gutted.
There is no point NZ whinging about foreign boats illegally operating in its waters because NZ hasn't got any deterrents and other countries just take advantage of a militarily weak NZ.
The exact same thing is happening in the Uk too, huge European trawlers come in and catch what they want, never get monitored by the Fisheries protection, land their catch into a Spanish refrigerated truck. They don’t even use the local vendors as all oils, stores and consumables come in the truck that takes the fish back. The Uk govt started a Marine Protection scheme so certain areas were classed as MPAs and we were not allowed to fish in them during spawning and months either side but yet the foreign owned vessels were allowed inside these areas whenever they wanted. Most Fishermen voted for Brexit yet the govt. still gave 75% of our quota to European vessels.
