PULLING SEINE ON MAYARO BEACH - Traditional Fishing In Trinidad & Tobago, Caribbean *DRONE FOOTAGE* 

I have never seen such destruction of our fisheries like this…literally hundreds of undersized fish…thousands of bait fish and sting rays just layed to waste as these morons step all over them…well done TnT…thanks for showing the world that you have no idea how to sustain your fisheries…I swear I don’t want to hear a single fisherman in Trini complain about not catching anything…if this is the situation pulling sein you can just imagine the level of destruction those unregulated trawlers create…well yes fadda!! Smfh 🙄

I love the interaction you had with the youths instead of just trying to run them off that was real humble of you, keep it up. I know this is what the village knows in terms of fishing for years now, no doubt pulling seine damages the seabed and kills alot of smaller fishes unnecessarily, nice coverage of the action keep it up.

My boy put a jack in he pocket yes lol!! epic. Cool footage Kos. Everyone get a lil food to take home. Wish the net holes were a lil bigger though. Lots of smaller fish there.

This has always been a way of life in T&T and as time pass our waters get more barren....Thousands of dead small fish ...makes things even more tuff for inshore fishing.

KoS. The seine is one of the reasons why fish stocks in Mayaro have been depleted . I was born, and grew up there. I am now 66 years old. For over a hundred years seines have been straining the waters of Mayaro, destroying everything caught. At one time I could recall there were about six seines in service. Cham, Lee Ha , Borel, Nathan, DeGannes are some of the names I remember. There were never Government input to regulate the size of the mesh, nor were they regulated as to how many times a day the seine could be thrown. Aside from destroying the seabed, everything is killed. I remember one afternoon a school of over 500 stingrays were netted, They just hauled them up on the beach and let them die there, and be corbeaux food ! We children would go behind the curved seine, as it was being hauled up on the beach. Small fish by the millions would escape through the mesh and try to escape back to the sea, passing through our legs !! As a boy, fish used to be caught by the TRUCKLOADS.....not pickuploads ! Four, five, six truckloads of Cavalli, Carite and Ancho when in season. They used to describe it as "Seine Tombay", in those circumstances. The smell of frying fish used to pervade the air for that afternoon. Fish like Herrings, Cro-cro, Sapatay, Cutlassfish, Catfish, Bannan, and others used to be left by the basketfuls for corbeaux to eat. No one wanted them !.......Today people are eating Crappofish !! I am really surprised from your video that that amount of fish is still being caught in a seine in Mayaro.......despite the Sargasso weed ! Many Third world countries still use seines, as I have seen on RU-vid. And the catch is far worse than in Mayaro. I see you were doing your part. Thanks for the video.

This video footage was💥💥💯💯💯 wil watch over & over again.

FRESH FISH... Even the doggy got into the water to experience the action

I am from mayaro and it's our way of life , I used to live pulling seine and swimming in with the ropes, good times, thanks to the Lee ha and cham

That's the only disadvantage of sain is the killing of the small fish but a nice experience to do

Wow I haven't seen that in donkey years! Great episode 👏 👌 👍 Glad to see the community come together to help pull that net in. Glad to see you saved some baby fish and sting rays also KosM. With no regulations in Trinidad and Tobago anything goes which can be bad for keeping the fish population high. Keep them videos coming though. Those little boys were happy to see you. FISH 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡 ON !

I never saw so much fish in one area. Thanks for sharing, I definitely learned something new.

Always a joy to have kids around 😊❤.

nice video as always keep them coming. fish on !!!!!!

Nice vid as usual.. a man pocket a fish dey🤣

Watched from Old Harour ,Jamaica. Interesting.

Good job those kids. Nice to see they into the fishing videos on your channel.

Salaams bro nice work long time I haven't seen this much action.. mashaallah

Nice vid Kos jus luv those kids

Yooo kos good vid as always.......I never see ah seine pull.... my grandfather was ah fisherman he say he pull 1...but I wah see 1 pull 1 day.....fish onn!!!!

I like the dog 🐕 who is also trying to help them

Good on you bro!!! As everyone grabbing fish, you are saving the Ray's!!! Thanks for the video.🙏 Stay safe.

Seine fishing depletes the ocean to some extent. So many juvenile fish going to waste. What a pity.I was so happy seeing you throw back fish and stingray in the sea.. Had the pleasure of seine fishing in Mayaro, many many years ago. definitly hard work , and I was just there for the experience while on vacation.

I had the experience of pulling a seine many years ago on Mayaro Beach. It was a lot of hard work but it was worth it in the end. Great video bro👍👍💯

Man I just saw your tick tok on this man this was awesome you just got a new subscriber man love this type of content keep it up.

Kos now watching this vid honestly i watch the whole video for the little dog he so brave

That was some nice fish

Thats a big big lookdown cool aint they

I am surprised that they don’t get them small fish I like how the dog was right there in it lol

I can’t believe that so many small fish had to die in this process. In my mind all those small fish are the ones with the sea. Something has to be done about that fission that also secures the return of those small fish.

Great video KoS M

Fish like that enjoyed that video

Great video...loved the kids!!!

Lovely vedio Kos m Educational. Love your interaction with the Kids . But I'm saddened by the distruction of the seabed , really saddened.

Great video kos. These were some of my first memories of eating cutlass fish while growing up. That thing was nicee. It tastes way better when from the Atlantic.

Poor fish but appreciate you trying to save stingrays unlike the other people🙄

That is a big haul! Rell salmon!

Good viewing. Sad the loss of the by- catch.

O M G... Memories.!!!!!

Love your video. Would love to meet you one day. Love how you interacted with the boys.Blessed

Nice to see you putting effort into saving whatever rays and by-catch you find, one of the few times I was ever there to see this when I was much smaller, about 9 or 10 I’d say, me and a friend took it upon ourselves to carry as many cownose rays that were left up on the beach to die back into the water, from what I remember there were atleast 20 of them with the only casualties being one plus a small eagle ray we were too late for, glad to see the big guy back in the water by the end tho (pretty sure it’s a Caribbean whiptail if I remember right)

WOW!!!!

Great video bro FISHON!!!

I wish Trinidad can Come back as it were once again well our prime m body of TNT will have to say what he like s for TNT and I hope it will be for the best for our people in Trinidad

nice but all the small fish dead

Keep up the content I enjoyed this video

U the best fishing youtuber in T&T

Miss those days in manzanilla Beach. How times have changed

Nice too see but alot have been lost

Hi KOSm, thanks for sharing this experience, great interaction with the youths. No one should haggle fish prices,that was a lot of work. Glad to see you were being safe,thanks again 👍

Years and many years as a young boy we spend a week in Mayaro, and every morning fishermen pull those SEINE.That's a good tradition and culture to keep. Who ever in charge of the beach there should try to bury some of the seaweed.

Nice fish on bro👍👍

Nicee nicee

Nice when I was 7 use to pull fish with dad in Trinidad. Trust me pure cussing. Sail up him and his friends always had fun. Next time in Trinidad would take my son to pull sail see if he has it in him. Bless thanks good times.

Nice content, never saw this done before.

Port Royal, Jamaica Captain here

Enjoy this, looook at seaweed

Too much small fish lost

It's been years since I've seen this. Sad to see all the small fish die

Nice

I think the fisher men should try to send back all the lil fish back in the sea

Nice video great interaction

Tk you so much 😍😍😍👍👍👍

Enjoyable video! Great haul of fish, sad to see the by catch wasted. The best part is "man pockets have whole cavali" lol

hell of a pull , dang.. argue with method all you like, can't argue with results though... use the little fish that you don't want for bait or food, use them in the garden or for ocean fertilizing, use everything, even the seaweed...

I hope RU-vid influencers like KoS, Brett in Trini and Stifler who post vids out of Tobago use their channels to not only promote fishing content, but conservation as well…in TnT we have a sad history of destroying everything so please RU-vidrs use your platform’s wisely…I watch everything you all post and enjoy your content…but edify the masses on the importance of preserving our local fisheries for future generations to come…talk about how long it may take a particular fish species to grow, maybe a minimum size to throw back and why…it’s super important so folks who watch your channel can understand as well…

I hope they give you a bucket of fish because you put them up

Good job ❤️❤️❤️

Nice video which drone are u using?

First

Yes guys teach a man to fish,and you feed him fir life,Jesus said 👏👍I will make you fishers of men,walk and talk about Jesus 🙏

Stingray bredda made it

alot of by catch but you think if it didnt have all that grass the bait would of escaped?

Love the video man keep up with the good work and let’s go fishing one day can I get a shoutout in the next video

I actually used to supply my local aquaruim the city aquaruim

Which dji drone were you using

WOW..

Yes I went there last week ew stayed there for 9 days our house is bigger and yellow

Sorry to see the lost of baby fish's by the thousands

the figment section made me think it was 100's of rays and wasted fish...

Yes everyone does just appear when the net reach in lmao

Love to see you interacting with the Black children

Anything goes in Trinidad 🥺

killing the small fishes omg

👍🏾🙏🏾

This is one video showing the devastating effects that these fishermen have on the fish population. Imagine the decades of destruction. That is why in Trinidad you can throw a line and never catch a fish.

Heartbreaking to watch, so much loss of bycatch. I wonder if those youths will have fish when they grow older. Eat now , starve later

That seaweed is worth money in Canada

In NZ this would be criminal.

If it wasn't for all that sea weed all those small fish would of escape because of the size of the net.

Were is this

But bro thats a whole lot of dead bait and small fish man..

I from mayaro

Not gonna be a Greta...but if this madness continues among other indiscriminate methods; our fisheries already strained will be doomed. I can see your efforts to assist the trapped fish and perhaps in a way it's good for people to see what goes on and why.

They do more yelling then anything else..😂

We have always been like this ... the scale has changed for the worse.

I hate that all those small fish have to go to waste and then we do say it doesn't have fish

This type of fishing should be stopped n made illegal d amount of marine life just being destroyed is unspeakable!

Plenty sea weed

all the plants from the sea floor and small fishes left behind to die....

Tell beast I say he broken
