What is mind blowing is the fact that the guy says the fish was disappearing so he wanted to move to another area to destroy it instead. Does he not see that this is the exact attitude that caused the problem in the first place.

Good work Australia!! As a province in Canada that relies on our fishery to keep our small time fishing families viable and earning a living we must continue to stop these massive vessels from rapping and pillaging our oceans.

Some 60 yrs ago, as a middle school student in Asia I enjoyed affordable can of California sardine in tomato sauce when we go on a picnic. When I came to California to go to college in 1965 all the sardine fishing boats and canning factories went out of business because of over-fishing, and the small population of sardines that survived can only be found in South America. Greed killed the golden goose !!!
I’m a bit younger but when I was a kid there was a fisherman crowing “we’ll never catch the last fish on The Grand Banks”, wrong, they’ve caught the last fish on The Grand Banks .

It is like a third world decision making. Poor Garry and his partners. I know how bitter the third world decision making is. Till the end of the video I still dont get the answer as to why the government allowed the super trawler to come to Australia in the first place, only to let her sit, rusting there at the port. Could it be that it was all staged in such way by the Australian Government to make the world think of Australia as a champion in advocating environmental protection. As the narrator puts it, " the government decision was right and it was seen as a victory in sustainable fishing, not just in Australia but around the globe"
So what if they set it up??? they got a TERRIBLE trawler off the waters and thankfully it will sit there and rot and not be used to rape the oceans ever again. Whats your problem?? Australia is actually trying to HELP the world by taking that boat off the seas.

The Margiris is now fishing off the Irish coast (Kerry) for the Dutch under a Lithuanian flag. It now catches 6,000 tonnes per trip. It's a modern day hoover
@@jimbolger264 as an Icelander I don't understand what all the huff is about. These giant trawlers are supposed to catch fish way off shore like 50km to 100km+. These are made to catch fish far off land. These Australians are doing it all wrong. The giant swarms of fish, like hundreds of thousands of fish, are far our at sea and often stay close to the surface.
Because its a factory that freezes the fish right when they are caught, instead of letting them rot while they return to port, wasting a huge percentage of the fish caught. Google. Stupid.
They basically banned it because it is Big. No other reason. if you have 10 medium sized trawlers nothing is mentioned, have one called a super trawler and Guy Sebastian knocking it, suddenly the fisheries are in danger and every idealistic young youth with a phone, facebook and twitter account are suddenly experts on fishing quotas and trawlers. Burke should have known his business, completely dropped the ball on this and then makes up reactionary policy on the run.
After protests against her use by environmental and fishing industry groups, the Australian government passed legislation prohibiting the trawler from fishing in Australian waters for two years. For this reason, Seafish Tasmania subsequently sold its stake in the vessel to Dutch company Parlevliet & Van der Plas. On March 6, 2013, after six months moored in Australian waters, she left Port Lincoln, having reassumed her original name of Margiris. After leaving Australian waters, the vessel passed through Cook Strait, New Zealand on March 20, 2013. She was now flagged to Lithuania and owned by Atlantic High Sea Fishing Company. Margiris arrived in Port of Penco, Chile on April 7, 2013. The vessel did not berth and steamed out of the bay to fish. In late 2016 she was working along the west coast of Ireland. In July 2017 AFMA came out with a scientifically UNSUPPORTED plan to roll back environmental limits and curtail conservation. Many marine scientists are dismayed. “They’ve nearly halved the level of protection,” says marine ecologist Jessica Meeuwig, director of the University of Western Australia’s Centre for Marine Futures in Perth. “It’s very demoralizing to the scientists who’ve done so much hard work,” Booth adds. “You would not believe the amount of work that’s been put into establishing these places. Then suddenly it all comes off the table.”
That has always been the way hasn't it. Labour traditionally have a better record on environmental issues than Lnp. Their job when in power has always been to claw and roll back labour policy, that was not of their liking. Frazer, howard, abbott, morrison have all turned roll-back into an art forms. Its a treasonous act of putrid cowardice in my view, when good policy gets decimated by self serving often COMPRIMISED political puppets, and the party machine
We more recently had the super trawler the Geelong Star, though not as big as this one. It was asked to leave due to by-catch, with too many dolphins being caught in it's nets. I believe that it was also renamed to try and blend in with local boats.
@Justin Smith I'm not disputing your account. This one made the papers, with the owners admitting that they had an issue with bycatch, which was never resolved to the satisfaction of the fisheries department.
The future generations are being told that recreational fisher people are to be blamed for loss of fishing stocks. This company and other large fishing boats destroyed fishing in Tasmania and the Tasmanian government let them (the white washing of what really happened disgusts me) it will go down in the school books and UTAS studies as the fault of the average person just looking for a feed on the holidays.
you all here are blaming the trawlers owners, but ur missing the point, they were given permission from all regulated authorities so they are the ones to blame, not the trawlers owners.
there is a lot of misunderstanding here. The first thing to understand is that Australia's fisheries are the best managed fisheries in the world with every fishery (at the time of this event) either sustainable or being very close to being sustainable, and by-catch survival rates the best in the world and constantly being improved. what was in place was a maximum quota of fish to be taken, shared over many boats, the "super trawler" had to purchase quota from other boats to catch fish, that means no more fish were allowed to be caught, just that one boat was going to be doing most of the catching. Quota is allocated in units, each year the fisheries authority attaches a weight to each unit of quota. this allows adjustment of allowable tonnage caught when environmental conditions are unfavourable for fish breading.
I get the point I'm not stupid but I don't care. What these horrible killing machines are doing to our planet is terrifying.If we have to trick them into stopping so be it....screw them murderers.
They shouldn't own a fish sweeper like that... turn them into long fishing tours like a cruise for people with balls... have dudes with rods on that deck big fish smoker too... I bet plenty of fishermen would like it. Maybe drag a tighter net to scoop plastic trolling the gyre...
When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money....First Nations saying
Let's level the playing field -- don't let him practice with the net, don't tell him that he can get out; give him standard SCUBA equipment, but no knife, scissors, saw, flashlight etc.

There was Japanese super trawler off the coast of SCOTLAND recently fishing our tuna , tuna we're not even aloud to fish for yet it's aloud to Plod on draining the ocean !!
As a complete outsider looking in and having no dog in this fight, I can understand both sides. He definitely should have been notified that they were drawing up legislation against him. It was pretty underhanded behavior. However, the protection of the environment is important. There should be legislation to stop this kind of fishing....PERIOD!!
I believe its probably part of the company job to look into legislation rather then the governments job to go out and tell everyone that they may or may not know of.
The current position of MARGIRIS is at North Sea (coordinates 52.45869 N / 4.58077 E) reported 87 days ago by AIS. The vessel MARGIRIS (IMO: 8301187, MMSI 277330000) is a Fishing Vessel built in 1997 (23 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Lithuania.

First of all these boats should not exist. However, if the owners have carefully asked and gotten permission to come and then afterwards the rules are changed, however rightfully that change is, the owners of that boat should be compensated financialy. I would personally go as far as to say australia has to confiscate the boat for demolition but also have to pay the owners because they were at fault for letting them come regardless of all the warnings
It was a no brainer from the outset, You have to know the game to play by Aussie rules and Mr Green was naive enough to believe a politician! No the super trawler should not be allowed to exist. Yes the Aussie Government owes the owners $AUD 350 million. I hope they take it to the International Court. Watch how quickly the Oz government pays up.
Those africans have ZERO recourse if they don't catch fish for any reason and no one bails them out. Why should some rich asshole get bailed out when his business for any reason doesn't work out? The tax payers have to pay that 350 million because he made a poor decision. Why should the tax payers be obligated to bail these people out? There is risk in business if you don't like the risk do something else or be a better business person.

Yes and these greedy bas.....ds expect , demand to be able to continue doing the same with British waters post Brexit! They have decimated fish stocks .
Patricia Butler. Brexshit hasn’t changed much, because the big Dutch companies, have a legal right to fish(because they own most of the licenses to the quotas, and so it would be illegal to stop them, without stopping all of the fishing), anywhere in British waters(and we were able to fish in the EU waters too, until that was taken from us), that they want to... Just as long, as the boat is not breaking the size regulations, regarding the distance from the shoreline etc..... And as for the decimation of our fish stocks, I know for a fact(as a lifelong share fisherman) that the British, are just as responsible, for that as anyone else, if not more so... That is especially true, in the case of the winter mackerel, which was the main winter catch in Cornwall( we used to use hook and lines, without damaging the stocks), that was, until the Scotch trawlers came down in the early seventies, after the trawlers wiped out their own stock. And so they came here and wiped our stocks out(which is why the scotch nationalists, who know nothing, that bang on about not letting southern boats up there, piss me off, because they’ve been down here for fifty years)... And, as a commercial fisherman for my whole working life, I have watched the trawlers, and biggest types of other boats, wipe out the different species one by one... Starting with the pilchards; mackerel; cod; spur-dogs(rock salmon); hake and all of the others that have been decimated... So please, don’t take this the wrong way, but until you actually know, what you’re talking about, shut the fuck up, especially with your xenophobic bullshit, you NUMPTY........

There's a difference between making a living and over fishing to make millions of dollars, the ocean should not be treated like a business, the fish are not there just to make money, corporations treat sea creatures like they're not even living breathing entities, I'm glad that I live in Australia where the people care about their environment, I hope that never changes.
Folks care about it all over. Its just that most govs are on the side of the corporations - including australias govs.. . The only reason they stopped the trawler is because the environmental and fisheries lobbis and taxs are much greater than the trawler would pay to the govs - That is the only reason that the trawler has been stopped - its busniss - pure and simple - they dont actually care about the earth one bit. All civy lies nations are part of the devil/ rebellion led by lucifer - they are out to and dead set on destroying mankind, the earth, and everything within it - and theyve suceeded too - it just aint quite dead yet, but the earth is in its death throws, and is destroyed beyond it has ability to repair itself..

But it's simple!! Don't buy fish!! Go and catch your own!! Only take what you need!! Now that's sustainable and resourceful! This super tanker is just plain GREEDY!!
I don’t eat fish, but saying go catch your own doesn’t work here in Tasmania Australia. The state government let these trawlers in and now the bag limit is 2 fish over a certain unlikely large size. What we really need to do is ban daily consumption of fish worldwide and make these companies compensate the families that can no longer feed themselves for however long it takes for fish populations to reach sustainable quantities again. Good luck convincing the greedy Korean’s and Chinese though 🤷♀️
yes people starving to death is a far better idea then managing a sustainable fishery. adding this boat to the Australian fishing fleet did not change the total amount of fish able to be caught by the fleet.
@@hamish2202 are you suggesting people should stop eating fish? Fish makes up between 20% and 50% of people's protein intake. The fishing industry employs more people than the total population of Australia. So if there fishery is sustainable can you give one reason to stop it?

@@timothyterrell1658 They do follow them, because they would go bankrupt if not. Its about money not emotion. Stupid fucking gullible idiot.

I don't get what exactly the problem is, the super trawler just catches the fish it doesn't set the quota. the size of the quota has more to do with the environmental damage than the size of a ship. seems to me this has more to do with feelings than facts which is a hell of a way to run a country.

It did. In the end this case went to international arbitration, and Australia lost. They paid the company millions in compensation for the illegal seizure.
sure have but what does that have to do with anything? all trawlers have bycatch, do you have a reason to think the size of the bycatch is anything other than linearly proportional to the size of the trawler or you just feel super trawlers are bad? perhaps your against all trawlers?

I worked on a similar trawler in the Bering Sea(Alaska). What's missing in this is actual numbers(%) of "bycatch" that would be destroyed and what is a tolerable number(if any).

They always blame the customer saying we demand cheaper fish on Never In my life demanded cheap fish! What you really want is the biggest slice of the pie by reducing your price
By the time we get to the fish its going to be the same price anyway but you shouldn't eat to much fish from the ocean because you will probably suffer from mercury poison from all the pollution.
Wait, if reducing their price means they get more customers (bigger slice of the pie), doesn't that mean most customers wanted (demanded) cheaper fish?
How is it possible that governments allow yards to make such big trawlers. Now the Chinese are also fishing the sea and oceans empty. In 30 or 40 years there will be no more fish to catch. Only fish in fishfarms will survive and that fish will ONLY be for the elite/the rich.!!! See the movie the movie Soylent Green!
As a UK resident having our waters plundered by EU Dutch super trawlers, seeing seals drowning and untimately huge profits for the trawler owners I am glad that the Australian government impounded this ship. They went about it in the wrong way, that is true, but unless we as people stop fishing on such a massive scale there will be no fish left for anyone. Its all about making millions quickly, not supplying people with cheap fish, That is the con.." we catch more fish so we can sell it cheaper"... What he should have said was.. we catch more fish so we can make more money faster, and we don't care if we take all the fish, so what, wer'e rich.
based on what? Australian fisheries are all sustainable due to the quota system limiting the total catch in each fishery, adjustable annually. rducing ship sizes endangers the lives of people catching the fish, in Australia we can keep doing it but your sugestion is that everyone that enjoys eating fish should live with the guilt of killing people to do it.

This trawler isn't laying nets, its towing a large net and targeting swarms of fish. Net fishing often has more bycatch then trawlers have. Pelagic trawling when done right is actually an environmental choice. I am not sure how it compares to the supertrawler, but smaller trawlers often have even less bycatch then other methods of fishing because they go precisely for a swarm (at least in regulated trawling). There is no damage to the seabed like in bottom trawling. It isn't the ship that is the problem, it is the regulation. Quotas need to be set accordingly and areas need to be thoroughly regulated.
Why does she change names every 10 minutes??? Why does Gerry Geen need partners in NZ and Nederland? How is it that Gerry Geen talks about "high quality fish for international markets" when in Au they're just cheap rubbish baitfish, Why does the Au Gov even consider risking the sustainability of all the game fish (worth billion$) in Au for one operator to make $3million or so? especially while ownership is partly/largely overseas??? Why is it that only a "supertrawler" is efficient enough to make a profit from redfish and jackmack? Why is it that a rig documented as "destroying" unregulated African fisheries would even be considered for approval in Au. Why is it that Gerry Geen has such a large voice at the Au Gov.???? How is it that Gerry Geen has been able to buy out/into so much of the quota???? and where is the sense in that???? How is it that the Minister had such little idea???? How is it that AFMA can make large decisions based on decade old science??? So many questions but so few answers............................................
one name change is not a name change every 10 minutes, and the boat was purchased by a new company to fish exclusively in Australian waters, an Australian name is appropriate. Partners were required due to the investment required. Australian seafood is known to be some of the best in the world and local markets tend to offer shit prices for shit bait fish. There was no change to the allowable total catch, this boat was required to buy quota off other boats meaning the other boats would not be able to catch that quota. being able to process the fish on board therefore keeping them in better condition, and as you have already said the species they are targeting have little commercial value in australia, small profit multiplied by large volume makes the venture "efficient" the rig was not documented as destroying anything by any valid or reputable organisation. Garry green sought advice from the governing bodies of the industry he sought to work in, he agreed to all the demands of that governing body and in some cases exceeded their demands (by-catch reduction is a commercially as well as environmentally advantageous) Garry has been able to buy out quota because he offered people enough money. for a smaller boat to catch their quota they have to spend money, by covering their expected profits they were happy to sell, but because the amount of fish caught is restricted to the total quota, there are no more fish being caught, just that they would have been caught by one boat, more profitably there by increasing Australia's GDP The minister should never have been involved, the amount of fish taken did not change, he was only politically motivated and feared losing his seat due to an uneducated electorate, had he educated his electorate so they understood that less people would die to produce the same amount of fish and that the total tonnage of fish was limited by quota and that tonnage was not changing things may have been different, If I had seen your comment 4 years ago maybe you would have understood what was actually happening, although I commend you on asking questions, I am a little disappointed that you did not seek the answers yourself and rturn to answer your own comment. AFMA uses the most up to date science available in this documentary it was mentioned that they had extra requirements for by-catch reduction, many of which had already been built into the "super trawler " nets and in some cases exceeded, that is why there is a quota system, each year AFMA can allocate a kilo value to each unit of quota, effectively allowing them to adjust the total catch in a fishery as appropriate to the environmental and scientific findings for that year. answers to your questions that you could have found for yourself, education is your own responsibility, don't be conned by emotional arguments by self serving SJW's.
@@suzieqq9808 no he wasn't , you have no evidence to suport any wrong doing so you are making stuff up. why don't you actually reseach what difference this boat would have made, for instance how many less boats would be trawling , how many less people would die at work on small boats, how many more fish would actually have been caught, how much more or less sustainable the fishery would have been. If you did that you would realise most of the dogooders that want these boats banned are actually damaging the environment and killing people rather then helping their cause.
I think these factories should be outlawed. isn't this the cause of Somali pirates? super trawlers taking all of the fish, leaving the locals no more living at fishing?
Yes and I want all your life saving to help climate change. Pay up buddy its for a good cause, and if you don't I'll just take you hostage and threaten your life and your families so I can get my climate change money. Fucking lunacy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there should be a maximum size to the boats being built for fishing,that will regulate the tonnage caught and the time spent at sea,plus a maximum on the fleets of fishing boats built for offshore fishing
Having watched a great fishery diminishing because of gill netting in California and the draconian measures and regulations to finally stop the utter depletion of the fishery, I can attest to how much profit only commercial fishing can cause a great fishery to crash. Back in the late 70's and 80's the sport fishermen of CA tried to get rid of gill netting. They were not supposed to wrap their nets around kelp beds or catch certain sport fish like the Kelp Bass (calico) which pretty much lived in the Kelp beds. They were allowed to keep the restricted species as "incidental" catch including the endangered black sea bass which can grow to 500 lbs. They ignored the regulations about wrapping kelp beds and they also devised a way to gill net at very deep depths, like 600 ft (100 fathoms) plus. So the deep water rock fish were severely depleted. My dad, if he saw a gill net around a kelp bed would drop his anchor into the net and drag it off and get the fish that were dead out, a gill net kills fish, it doesn't just contain them so you can throw back the "incidental" fish. Now in CA there are very tough fishing regulations and a ban on gill nets, but the commercial fish lobby prevailed for too long. You are not allowed to fish below 360 feet because they depleted the rock fish stocks. Rock fish and Calico-Sand-Spotted bay bass are all very slow growing. It takes 5 years for a Calico bass to grow to 12 inches and the same for rock fish or rock cod as they are commonly called in CA. There are now certain species of fish in CA that never had a seasonal restriction, there is now on many many species. To over-fish a sustainable resource to near depletion is asinine and short-sighted. Mankind has shown itself more than capable of that. Go up to the Northeastern states and look at the cod fishery, almost wiped out. Thank God Canada didn't allow it in their waters so the cod are slowly coming back. Only Maine has a good lobster fishery as well because the lobstermen decided a long time ago to keep it sustainable. Fish which are good for you to eat are getting more and more expensive because of over-fishing. Thankfully here in the USA they have implemented intelligent reform in most cases, though not all.
not the same fishery, not the same method, not the same regulatory method,. You are trying to compare one of the worst managed fisheries in the world with one of the best and calling them equal.
This is one of the most irrational reactions I've seen a government take (and I live in the US). Whether you have 10 smaller boats or one big boat, the total bycatch is the same. Furthermore, having one larger boat means it's easier to institute a new lower bycatch design and easier to regulate and monitor one big boat rather than a bunch of smaller ones. As long as you have a set quota for the total catch, it doesn't really matter if it's one boat or a thousand.
The lawmakers who flip flopped and lead everyone on are the ones to blame in this situation. The boat owner did everything in his power to follow the law and make his boat as environmentally friendly as possible. The fishing is done by quota so what is the problem with having the quota caught by a large ship instead of smaller boat. The politicians never should have let the ship come to Australia in the first place if they were just going to change their stance at the first sign of negative public opinion. What a bunch of scumbags making the owners waste all that money. The politicians will do anything to stay in power.
if it did everything right why didn't they show the videos of the bi catch that it had , it was "leaked" they hide what they dont want you to see.. dont you agree ? This ship is a walking t rex raping the ocean , sink it and do us all a favor. You allow it to do its bidding another will be built.
@ 28:35 the guy goes to say that the decision that was taken it was like a third world country, it may have been a third world country decision, But at least we have fish in are waters unlike most third world country's that have people like the Dutch depleting there seas of fish and pay there way into corrupt governments.....Well it's not going to happen in Australia mate, So I say to you and your super Trawler pack up and go back where you came from pal.
But the bloke is from Australia.....they did everything that was asked of them and still got screwed. The government should've said no from the beginning not wait until everyone cracked the shits and then went oh this is going to hurt us politically quick let's change the rules so it doesn't. This wasn't about the environment from the government's view this was about saving their own arse when they realized that people were pissed about it.
There are other countries richer than the Dutch,which ones would you like to see buy up all the rights to fish in Australia?Where will all this fish go?back to Australia or to the countries that are able to pay the highest price that the foreign owners can get?Do the Africans get to buy the fish taken in their waters?Saying that its only quotas do people honestly think that they will see that fish sold back to their market for them to eat.these people are international marketers not Robin Hood!
I don't think most people understand including this news team that the supertrawler still has the same amount of quota which is bought and is better for the environment because the only need 1 trip
They got quote for x amont of tons of fish that they partially bought from other fishing vessels. Same amount of tons will be fished from the ocean, if it is from small vessels (that sold there quota to the other vessel) or from one big actor that take about 50'% of total quota. Same amout of fish will still be fished, What is the problem?
Yes but people don't care about that just simply repeating nonsense without actual data or understanding If ausi don't want this ship in there water they should invited ship or warned about rules
I think the people that approved the licence to this trawler should be investigated and if found that they had did the owners a favour and cant explain why then they should be sacked and imprisoned for a few years which will show public servants that they work for the people and not them selves

It isn't just the fish they take and keep it is the by-catch. Fish that have no commercial are routinely caught, killed in the process and tossed over the side. These numbers are out of date, but 40 to 60% is by-catch.
Everyone has to make a livelihood. These super trawlers deprive fishermen in poor countries of their livelihood. This also results in the Piracy on the high seas, which is a direct result of these super trawlers. The super trawlers have "state of the art" technology for fishing as compared to the primitive technology which poor fishermen of different developing countries possess.
...climate change brought the ship "halfway across the world" from Holland to Australia because of global warming?....really? is that your sorry excuse for overfishing one area? pathetic
I love how people are commenting on fish stocks and thinking that is the reason this ship was halted. watch the video the fish stocks were purchased by the owners of the boat from previous fishermen. It was halted due to the bycatch or accidental fish related deaths and the politicians were spineless people who should have stopped the project at the start. People invested tens of millions into the operation. They should have ben just told no.
i don't want to eat fish that been sitting out. I can understand the issue of killing local economy though. Lets be honest though, you buy your groceries from big stores, not local gas stations.
Don Olypopper. Thanks for that, while that’s disappointing, at least it means that the Ausi’s are not too stupid to let it work in their area... I would’ve been happier, if it had been turned into a reef somewhere though........
Don Olypopper. And allowing the planet, and its resources, to be wantonly destroyed, just because someone has found a way to do it, is the sign of a moron..... Especially as nothing was said about them not being paid for the ocean raping machine, and your comment shows that you’re incredibly ignorant about using ships to make new reefs.......

And if you’re going to throw out veiled threats(“be careful what you ask for, the next thing could be your house”), then you need to be careful, because you’re likely to get your single brain cell knocked out of your stupid head.... DICKHEADED.......

Forget quotas. The fish are being plundered faster than they can be replenished. This was also the cause of the start of ship piracy off the coast of Somalia. The fish were plundered by the "big boys" and the Somalis were trying to make a living.
One of the Australian fishermen who leased his licence to catch fish to the trawler's owners is now serving time for allegedly importing 1.2 tonnes of coke.
Greed and lack of caring for the local areas future is the standard of the big business fishing world. An area once visited by a big trawler is often fishless for two years or more. It happens all over the world ie, France overfished their own fishing area in the Med until the area is completely barren and now are working hard at overfishing the British fishing area - then when the last fish has gone they will go and overfish on someone else´s fishing ground.

Some 60 yrs ago, as a middle school student in Asia I enjoyed affordable can of California sardine in tomato sauce when we go on a picnic. When I came to California to go to college in 1965 all the sardine fishing boats and canning factories went out of business because of over-fishing, and the small population of sardines that survived can only be found in South America. Greed killed the golden goose !!!

demand and supply , if you werent eating it that much maybe there is no reason to produce so much

I would like to see a global five-year moratorium an all harvesting of marine life to enable all the stocks to replenish. Make provision for those no fishing years and then go fish and stop complaining about mass harvesting. Ten years of fishing, five years of absolutely no fishing and restoration of fisheries, and then repeat. Big ships are not the problem, too many people claiming rights are the problem. Too many politicians are the problems. Too many nonsensical laws are the problem. People like you, with not enough to do to keep them busy, are the problem.

It is like a third world decision making. Poor Garry and his partners. I know how bitter the third world decision making is. Till the end of the video I still dont get the answer as to why the government allowed the super trawler to come to Australia in the first place, only to let her sit, rusting there at the port. Could it be that it was all staged in such way by the Australian Government to make the world think of Australia as a champion in advocating environmental protection. As the narrator puts it, " the government decision was right and it was seen as a victory in sustainable fishing, not just in Australia but around the globe"
So what if they set it up??? they got a TERRIBLE trawler off the waters and thankfully it will sit there and rot and not be used to rape the oceans ever again. Whats your problem?? Australia is actually trying to HELP the world by taking that boat off the seas.

And so say you
After protests against her use by environmental and fishing industry groups, the Australian government passed legislation prohibiting the trawler from fishing in Australian waters for two years. For this reason, Seafish Tasmania subsequently sold its stake in the vessel to Dutch company Parlevliet & Van der Plas. On March 6, 2013, after six months moored in Australian waters, she left Port Lincoln, having reassumed her original name of Margiris.
After leaving Australian waters, the vessel passed through Cook Strait, New Zealand on March 20, 2013. She was now flagged to Lithuania and owned by Atlantic High Sea Fishing Company.
Margiris arrived in Port of Penco, Chile on April 7, 2013. The vessel did not berth and steamed out of the bay to fish.
In late 2016 she was working along the west coast of Ireland.
In July 2017 AFMA came out with a scientifically UNSUPPORTED plan to roll back environmental limits and curtail conservation.
Many marine scientists are dismayed. “They’ve nearly halved the level of protection,” says marine ecologist Jessica Meeuwig, director of the University of Western Australia’s Centre for Marine Futures in Perth. “It’s very demoralizing to the scientists who’ve done so much hard work,” Booth adds. “You would not believe the amount of work that’s been put into establishing these places. Then suddenly it all comes off the table.”
That has always been the way hasn't it. Labour traditionally have a better record on environmental issues than Lnp. Their job when in power has always been to claw and roll back labour policy, that was not of their liking. Frazer, howard, abbott, morrison have all turned roll-back into an art forms. Its a treasonous act of putrid cowardice in my view, when good policy gets decimated by self serving often COMPRIMISED political puppets, and the party machine
We more recently had the super trawler the Geelong Star, though not as big as this one. It was asked to leave due to by-catch, with too many dolphins being caught in it's nets. I believe that it was also renamed to try and blend in with local boats.
Thats bullshit
@@peterredding6090 Bullshit hat it happeneded again, or calling bullshir on what I said?

@Justin Smith I'm not disputing your account. This one made the papers, with the owners admitting that they had an issue with bycatch, which was never resolved to the satisfaction of the fisheries department.
@@justinsmith4562 Where you even fishing waters where dolphins were? What about seals?
This level of greed will destroy fish for everyone. Doesn't mankind ever learn?
Use it as evidence, and a lesson for the future generation of things to happen if we do not address this concern of overfishing.
Yup look what happened to the whales!!!
The future generations are being told that recreational fisher people are to be blamed for loss of fishing stocks. This company and other large fishing boats destroyed fishing in Tasmania and the Tasmanian government let them (the white washing of what really happened disgusts me) it will go down in the school books and UTAS studies as the fault of the average person just looking for a feed on the holidays.
you all here are blaming the trawlers owners, but ur missing the point, they were given permission from all regulated authorities so they are the ones to blame, not the trawlers owners.
fuck the ship builders
there is a lot of misunderstanding here. The first thing to understand is that Australia's fisheries are the best managed fisheries in the world with every fishery (at the time of this event) either sustainable or being very close to being sustainable, and by-catch survival rates the best in the world and constantly being improved.
what was in place was a maximum quota of fish to be taken, shared over many boats, the "super trawler" had to purchase quota from other boats to catch fish, that means no more fish were allowed to be caught, just that one boat was going to be doing most of the catching. Quota is allocated in units, each year the fisheries authority attaches a weight to each unit of quota. this allows adjustment of allowable tonnage caught when environmental conditions are unfavourable for fish breading.

'Aloud' means 'not silently '. The word you're looking for is 'allowed'.
As a complete outsider looking in and having no dog in this fight, I can understand both sides. He definitely should have been notified that they were drawing up legislation against him. It was pretty underhanded behavior. However, the protection of the environment is important. There should be legislation to stop this kind of fishing....PERIOD!!
I believe its probably part of the company job to look into legislation rather then the governments job to go out and tell everyone that they may or may not know of.

First of all these boats should not exist. However, if the owners have carefully asked and gotten permission to come and then afterwards the rules are changed, however rightfully that change is, the owners of that boat should be compensated financialy. I would personally go as far as to say australia has to confiscate the boat for demolition but also have to pay the owners because they were at fault for letting them come regardless of all the warnings
It was a no brainer from the outset, You have to know the game to play by Aussie rules and Mr Green was naive enough to believe a politician! No the super trawler should not be allowed to exist. Yes the Aussie Government owes the owners $AUD 350 million. I hope they take it to the International Court. Watch how quickly the Oz government pays up.
Those africans have ZERO recourse if they don't catch fish for any reason and no one bails them out. Why should some rich asshole get bailed out when his business for any reason doesn't work out? The tax payers have to pay that 350 million because he made a poor decision. Why should the tax payers be obligated to bail these people out? There is risk in business if you don't like the risk do something else or be a better business person.
No country needs a ship that big. Money is still root of all evil in the world.

agree
Yes and these greedy bas.....ds expect , demand to be able to continue doing the same with British waters post Brexit! They have decimated fish stocks .
Patricia Butler. Brexshit hasn’t changed much, because the big Dutch companies, have a legal right to fish(because they own most of the licenses to the quotas, and so it would be illegal to stop them, without stopping all of the fishing), anywhere in British waters(and we were able to fish in the EU waters too, until that was taken from us), that they want to... Just as long, as the boat is not breaking the size regulations, regarding the distance from the shoreline etc.....
And as for the decimation of our fish stocks, I know for a fact(as a lifelong share fisherman) that the British, are just as responsible, for that as anyone else, if not more so...
That is especially true, in the case of the winter mackerel, which was the main winter catch in Cornwall( we used to use hook and lines, without damaging the stocks), that was, until the Scotch trawlers came down in the early seventies, after the trawlers wiped out their own stock. And so they came here and wiped our stocks out(which is why the scotch nationalists, who know nothing, that bang on about not letting southern boats up there, piss me off, because they’ve been down here for fifty years)...
And, as a commercial fisherman for my whole working life, I have watched the trawlers, and biggest types of other boats, wipe out the different species one by one...
Starting with the pilchards; mackerel; cod; spur-dogs(rock salmon); hake and all of the others that have been decimated...
So please, don’t take this the wrong way, but until you actually know, what you’re talking about, shut the fuck up, especially with your xenophobic bullshit, you NUMPTY........

Folks care about it all over. Its just that most govs are on the side of the corporations - including australias govs.. . The only reason they stopped the trawler is because the environmental and fisheries lobbis and taxs are much greater than the trawler would pay to the govs - That is the only reason that the trawler has been stopped - its busniss - pure and simple - they dont actually care about the earth one bit.

But it's simple!! Don't buy fish!! Go and catch your own!! Only take what you need!! Now that's sustainable and resourceful! This super tanker is just plain GREEDY!!
Trawler. It's not a tanker.
Good point! Lol... so used to saying super tanker cos there's so god damn many of them! Shame there's 2 super trawlers in existence though :(
I live in kansas. I cant just go catch fish whenever i want
I don’t eat fish, but saying go catch your own doesn’t work here in Tasmania Australia. The state government let these trawlers in and now the bag limit is 2 fish over a certain unlikely large size.
What we really need to do is ban daily consumption of fish worldwide and make these companies compensate the families that can no longer feed themselves for however long it takes for fish populations to reach sustainable quantities again.
Good luck convincing the greedy Korean’s and Chinese though 🤷♀️
give them a fishing rod only
haha love it, good shot
yes people starving to death is a far better idea then managing a sustainable fishery. adding this boat to the Australian fishing fleet did not change the total amount of fish able to be caught by the fleet.
Lol
@@hamish2202 are you suggesting people should stop eating fish? Fish makes up between 20% and 50% of people's protein intake. The fishing industry employs more people than the total population of Australia. So if there fishery is sustainable can you give one reason to stop it?
@@outboard2006 no but i don't think the fishing at todays rate is sustainable
whats the difference in 10 boats catching 36000 tons of fish and 1 boat catching 36000 of fish? i just dont understand these greenpeace
There won't be 1 trawler, there will be 2 or 4 till there are no more fish. You can't stop human gread. They impose limits but do you believe they follow them?
@@timothyterrell1658 They do follow them, because they would go bankrupt if not. Its about money not emotion. Stupid fucking gullible idiot. It doesn't make a difference how many ships there are, they all have quotas. If one big ship comes just means it gets/buys all the quota available. So it doesn't matter one bit for the ocean, it does for the fisherman.
Who do they think their fooling. They thought it would make them a lot of money.
You ozzys are absolute spot on! Your policies and actions you cannot fault! Australia to be the world police please! There’s absolutely no shit from them! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Politician " I´ve never fished a day in my life but I will work toward rules that allow vast sea areas to be stripped of all fish to make a few big business trawler owners ever richer".
Fisherman " No one listens to me
Out you can
I don't get what exactly the problem is, the super trawler just catches the fish it doesn't set the quota.
the size of the quota has more to do with the environmental damage than the size of a ship.
seems to me this has more to do with feelings than facts which is a hell of a way to run a country.
It did. In the end this case went to international arbitration, and Australia lost. They paid the company millions in compensation for the illegal seizure.
sure have but what does that have to do with anything?
all trawlers have bycatch, do you have a reason to think the size of the bycatch is anything other than linearly proportional to the size of the trawler or you just feel super trawlers are bad?
perhaps your against all trawlers?
did you miss he footage of "the experiment" where seals DROWNED?
You don't get it coz you don't get it

I worked on a similar trawler in the Bering Sea(Alaska). What's missing in this is actual numbers(%) of "bycatch" that would be destroyed and what is a tolerable number(if any).
I have worked up there and we have RESPECT for our lands and waters, its why our fisheries will last longer than others but when you have large trawlers out in the open ocean raping the waters it screws stuff up for EVERYONE.
@@freshnorthwest6756 Australin fisheries are the best managed in the world, by-catch restrictions and reduction in Australia has always been far ahead of the rest of the world, as fishermen yourselves you know that large animals in the nets normally means damaged product making it worthless and is to be avoided, Australian fisheries management includes sharing of information to ensure that not only is legislation easy to follow and implement, but also best practices are available to all.
@@outboard2006 I respect the law Australia manages their waters and lands, they seem to truly value it and i can ALWAYS give props for that. Continue the good fight sir!!
Scrap it then start on the largest trawler , this vessel is for pure. Greed
Isnt it more greedy to have two smaller trawlers then one massive slow one?
They always blame the customer saying we demand cheaper fish on
Never In my life demanded cheap fish! What you really want is the biggest slice of the pie by reducing your price
agree
True they charge the same rate as always & reduce their operational cost.
By the time we get to the fish its going to be the same price anyway but you shouldn't eat to much fish from the ocean because you will probably suffer from mercury poison from all the pollution.
yavin99 we could just farm them on land.
Wait, if reducing their price means they get more customers (bigger slice of the pie), doesn't that mean most customers wanted (demanded) cheaper fish?
How is it possible that governments allow yards to make such big trawlers. Now the Chinese are also fishing the sea and oceans empty. In 30 or 40 years there will be no more fish to catch. Only fish in fishfarms will survive and that fish will ONLY be for the elite/the rich.!!! See the movie the movie Soylent Green!
Taxes at work keeping super trawlers docked & maintained.
Xenon the stalker
Over fishing kills off the stock, cannot the owner see that point of view? Or is money talking to him?
As a UK resident having our waters plundered by EU Dutch super trawlers, seeing seals drowning and untimately huge profits for the trawler owners I am glad that the Australian government impounded this ship. They went about it in the wrong way, that is true, but unless we as people stop fishing on such a massive scale there will be no fish left for anyone. Its all about making millions quickly, not supplying people with cheap fish, That is the con.." we catch more fish so we can sell it cheaper"... What he should have said was.. we catch more fish so we can make more money faster, and we don't care if we take all the fish, so what, wer'e rich.
This is exactly why we fought off your trawlers from our seas here in Iceland.
@@oligultonn So now you have them plundered by every EU member state and thats ok ?
ship sizes and quotas need to be greatly reduced,,, i myself love eating fish and catching them, lets make sure we can keep doing it
based on what? Australian fisheries are all sustainable due to the quota system limiting the total catch in each fishery, adjustable annually. rducing ship sizes endangers the lives of people catching the fish, in Australia we can keep doing it but your sugestion is that everyone that enjoys eating fish should live with the guilt of killing people to do it.
outboard2006 what a stupid comment that is ,,it doesnt suggest endangering the lives of anyone
you have far too much confidence in the people making these decisions
these ships are about nothing but tearing the guts out of the ocean and making a company rich
@@Jason-rs6co your comments are based on nothing, if they had of been based on facts you would have provided them, but you didn't because you cant. the facts are that all Australian fisheries are sustainable and are the best managed fisheries in the world. the facts are also that every year in Australia 1 in every 1000 people that goes to sea fishing in a boat 25 metres or smaller will die. there is nothing stupid about my comment except your lack of acceptance of it. reducing the number of boats and increasing their size makes for a safer environment for the people involved, but you enjoy your fish knowing that people died to put your meal on your plate and that you think more should die for that meal
outboard2006 your a dickhead completely missing the point ,,you obviously have a vested interest ,,no commercial fisherman goes to sea for the purpose of anything but make a living for them selves they are not heros saving the community so please dont insult me with that ridiculous notion
@@outboard2006 you keep saying that they are sustainable that is completely incorrect. What does sustainable mean to you? There is not an unlimited amount of fish. What you are saying is incorrect and ignorant.
blow these super trawlers out the water . would be a wonderful exercise for the navy.
ua-cam.com/video/x-6Ak7Kn9q0/v-deo.html
Fuck yeah
I would have sunk those ships instead of impounding them
just like the argentina navy did with the chines trawler
Scrap them, better for the environment, and you get some useful steel out of it.
Those ships would do as much damage below the water as above
watching those seals run out of air really hurt. What kind of person can look at that and be "satisfied with the results."
did you miss the fact that that was an early prototype and was later improved to a design that was satisfactory? the real disapointment is you can not sell seal meat so he died for nothing
@@outboard2006 Everyone seems to be missing that fact. even though they clearly said they obtained footage from the test phases. gullible idiots all around.
I recall when authorities found a Japanese floating "Gill Net" an dragged it in...2 DAYS and 12 MILES of net....Cant even imagine what kind of nightmare nets this monster has laid. . God help us...we can do better than this.. people.
This trawler isn't laying nets, its towing a large net and targeting swarms of fish. Net fishing often has more bycatch then trawlers have. Pelagic trawling when done right is actually an environmental choice. I am not sure how it compares to the supertrawler, but smaller trawlers often have even less bycatch then other methods of fishing because they go precisely for a swarm (at least in regulated trawling). There is no damage to the seabed like in bottom trawling.
It isn't the ship that is the problem, it is the regulation. Quotas need to be set accordingly and areas need to be thoroughly regulated.
Why would a Dutch Vessel come all this way, if they had not destroyed their own fishing!
@ Japanese...Chinese...Spanish...Portuguese...Turkey...Dutch in that order.
Why does she change names every 10 minutes???
Why does Gerry Geen need partners in NZ and Nederland?
How is it that Gerry Geen talks about "high quality fish for international markets" when in Au they're just cheap rubbish baitfish,
Why does the Au Gov even consider risking the sustainability of all the game fish (worth billion$) in Au for one operator to make $3million or so? especially while ownership is partly/largely overseas???
Why is it that only a "supertrawler" is efficient enough to make a profit from redfish and jackmack?
Why is it that a rig documented as "destroying" unregulated African fisheries would even be considered for approval in Au.
Why is it that Gerry Geen has such a large voice at the Au Gov.????
How is it that Gerry Geen has been able to buy out/into so much of the quota???? and where is the sense in that????
How is it that the Minister had such little idea????
How is it that AFMA can make large decisions based on decade old science???
So many questions but so few answers............................................
one name change is not a name change every 10 minutes, and the boat was purchased by a new company to fish exclusively in Australian waters, an Australian name is appropriate.
Partners were required due to the investment required.
Australian seafood is known to be some of the best in the world and local markets tend to offer shit prices for shit bait fish.
There was no change to the allowable total catch, this boat was required to buy quota off other boats meaning the other boats would not be able to catch that quota.
being able to process the fish on board therefore keeping them in better condition, and as you have already said the species they are targeting have little commercial value in australia, small profit multiplied by large volume makes the venture "efficient"
the rig was not documented as destroying anything by any valid or reputable organisation.
Garry green sought advice from the governing bodies of the industry he sought to work in, he agreed to all the demands of that governing body and in some cases exceeded their demands (by-catch reduction is a commercially as well as environmentally advantageous)
Garry has been able to buy out quota because he offered people enough money. for a smaller boat to catch their quota they have to spend money, by covering their expected profits they were happy to sell, but because the amount of fish caught is restricted to the total quota, there are no more fish being caught, just that they would have been caught by one boat, more profitably there by increasing Australia's GDP
The minister should never have been involved, the amount of fish taken did not change, he was only politically motivated and feared losing his seat due to an uneducated electorate, had he educated his electorate so they understood that less people would die to produce the same amount of fish and that the total tonnage of fish was limited by quota and that tonnage was not changing things may have been different, If I had seen your comment 4 years ago maybe you would have understood what was actually happening, although I commend you on asking questions, I am a little disappointed that you did not seek the answers yourself and rturn to answer your own comment.
AFMA uses the most up to date science available in this documentary it was mentioned that they had extra requirements for by-catch reduction, many of which had already been built into the "super trawler " nets and in some cases exceeded, that is why there is a quota system, each year AFMA can allocate a kilo value to each unit of quota, effectively allowing them to adjust the total catch in a fishery as appropriate to the environmental and scientific findings for that year.

@@suzieqq9808 no he wasn't , you have no evidence to suport any wrong doing so you are making stuff up. why don't you actually reseach what difference this boat would have made, for instance how many less boats would be trawling , how many less people would die at work on small boats, how many more fish would actually have been caught, how much more or less sustainable the fishery would have been. If you did that you would realise most of the dogooders that want these boats banned are actually damaging the environment and killing people rather then helping their cause.
@@outboard2006 I checked his bio on the internet ??
I think these factories should be outlawed. isn't this the cause of Somali pirates? super trawlers taking all of the fish, leaving the locals no more living at fishing?
I think most illegal fishing in Somalia is actually done by smaller ships from india
@@centurioncoles6177 more like Chinese not Indian
No wrong, the pirates operate at the behest of terros. Its the money they want, careless about fishing.
Poverty drove and still drives Somali pirates. Fishing might have been effected but the corrupt government keeping Somalis in poverty drives piracy.
Yes and I want all your life saving to help climate change. Pay up buddy its for a good cause, and if you don't I'll just take you hostage and threaten your life and your families so I can get my climate change money. Fucking lunacy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to ask yourself a simple question : Even if a fool proof by-catch net is designed, what's left for the "saved" species to eat ?
there should be a maximum size to the boats being built for fishing,that will regulate the tonnage caught and the time spent at sea,plus a maximum on the fleets of fishing boats built for offshore fishing
Stupidity is the most powerful force in the universe!
Having watched a great fishery diminishing because of gill netting in California and the draconian measures and regulations to finally stop the utter depletion of the fishery, I can attest to how much profit only commercial fishing can cause a great fishery to crash. Back in the late 70's and 80's the sport fishermen of CA tried to get rid of gill netting. They were not supposed to wrap their nets around kelp beds or catch certain sport fish like the Kelp Bass (calico) which pretty much lived in the Kelp beds. They were allowed to keep the restricted species as "incidental" catch including the endangered black sea bass which can grow to 500 lbs.
They ignored the regulations about wrapping kelp beds and they also devised a way to gill net at very deep depths, like 600 ft (100 fathoms) plus. So the deep water rock fish were severely depleted. My dad, if he saw a gill net around a kelp bed would drop his anchor into the net and drag it off and get the fish that were dead out, a gill net kills fish, it doesn't just contain them so you can throw back the "incidental" fish. Now in CA there are very tough fishing regulations and a ban on gill nets, but the commercial fish lobby prevailed for too long. You are not allowed to fish below 360 feet because they depleted the rock fish stocks. Rock fish and Calico-Sand-Spotted bay bass are all very slow growing. It takes 5 years for a Calico bass to grow to 12 inches and the same for rock fish or rock cod as they are commonly called in CA. There are now certain species of fish in CA that never had a seasonal restriction, there is now on many many species.
To over-fish a sustainable resource to near depletion is asinine and short-sighted. Mankind has shown itself more than capable of that. Go up to the Northeastern states and look at the cod fishery, almost wiped out. Thank God Canada didn't allow it in their waters so the cod are slowly coming back. Only Maine has a good lobster fishery as well because the lobstermen decided a long time ago to keep it sustainable.
Fish which are good for you to eat are getting more and more expensive because of over-fishing. Thankfully here in the USA they have implemented intelligent reform in most cases, though not all.
not the same fishery, not the same method, not the same regulatory method,. You are trying to compare one of the worst managed fisheries in the world with one of the best and calling them equal.
This is one of the most irrational reactions I've seen a government take (and I live in the US). Whether you have 10 smaller boats or one big boat, the total bycatch is the same. Furthermore, having one larger boat means it's easier to institute a new lower bycatch design and easier to regulate and monitor one big boat rather than a bunch of smaller ones. As long as you have a set quota for the total catch, it doesn't really matter if it's one boat or a thousand.
The lawmakers who flip flopped and lead everyone on are the ones to blame in this situation. The boat owner did everything in his power to follow the law and make his boat as environmentally friendly as possible. The fishing is done by quota so what is the problem with having the quota caught by a large ship instead of smaller boat. The politicians never should have let the ship come to Australia in the first place if they were just going to change their stance at the first sign of negative public opinion. What a bunch of scumbags making the owners waste all that money. The politicians will do anything to stay in power.
if it did everything right why didn't they show the videos of the bi catch that it had , it was "leaked" they hide what they dont want you to see.. dont you agree ? This ship is a walking t rex raping the ocean , sink it and do us all a favor. You allow it to do its bidding another will be built.
Glad to know this precious video, anyone here can tell me what is the largest fisheries companies in Australia?
It's a good idea to set up reserves and places that can't be fished to preserve and prevent overfishing.
You stole the content and put your watermark on it. Not cool.
Google Plus Blows Chunks yep I've seen this before people do anything for a buck
@ 28:35 the guy goes to say that the decision that was taken it was like a third world country, it may have been a third world country decision, But at least we have fish in are waters unlike most third world country's that have people like the Dutch depleting there seas of fish and pay there way into corrupt governments.....Well it's not going to happen in Australia mate, So I say to you and your super Trawler pack up and go back where you came from pal.
But the bloke is from Australia.....they did everything that was asked of them and still got screwed. The government should've said no from the beginning not wait until everyone cracked the shits and then went oh this is going to hurt us politically quick let's change the rules so it doesn't. This wasn't about the environment from the government's view this was about saving their own arse when they realized that people were pissed about it.
There are other countries richer than the Dutch,which ones would you like to see buy up all the rights to fish in Australia?Where will all this fish go?back to Australia or to the countries that are able to pay the highest price that the foreign owners can get?Do the Africans get to buy the fish taken in their waters?Saying that its only quotas do people honestly think that they will see that fish sold back to their market for them to eat.these people are international marketers not Robin Hood!
Perfect example of corporate BIG BUSINESS, TAKE ALL YOU CAN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE, mega greed.
I don't think most people understand including this news team that the supertrawler still has the same amount of quota which is bought and is better for the environment because the only need 1 trip
They got quote for x amont of tons of fish that they partially bought from other fishing vessels. Same amount of tons will be fished from the ocean, if it is from small vessels (that sold there quota to the other vessel) or from one big actor that take about 50'% of total quota. Same amout of fish will still be fished, What is the problem?
Yes but people don't care about that just simply repeating nonsense without actual data or understanding
If ausi don't want this ship in there water they should invited ship or warned about rules
its ridiculous to think that a super trawler is safe for the environment
why?
I think the people that approved the licence to this trawler should be investigated and if found that they had did the owners a favour and cant explain why then they should be sacked and imprisoned for a few years which will show public servants that they work for the people and not them selves

It isn't just the fish they take and keep it is the by-catch. Fish that have no commercial are routinely caught, killed in the process and tossed over the side. These numbers are out of date, but 40 to 60% is by-catch.

...climate change brought the ship "halfway across the world" from Holland to Australia because of global warming?....really? is that your sorry excuse for overfishing one area? pathetic
I love how people are commenting on fish stocks and thinking that is the reason this ship was halted. watch the video the fish stocks were purchased by the owners of the boat from previous fishermen. It was halted due to the bycatch or accidental fish related deaths and the politicians were spineless people who should have stopped the project at the start. People invested tens of millions into the operation. They should have ben just told no.
Horrible !
How dare they try this in Australia.
i don't want to eat fish that been sitting out. I can understand the issue of killing local economy though. Lets be honest though, you buy your groceries from big stores, not local gas stations.
that statement is bullshit if they catch in West Africa most of the fish is al exporterd so the local economy has no problems
God bless the Australian public.
So my question is - where is that super trawler today in 2019?
Currently off the west coast of Africa... Doing its part to starve Africans today and empty the oceans of tomorrow of fish! 😦
Either way 36.000 ton of fish were caught and the Govt stuffed it up

Forget quotas. The fish are being plundered faster than they can be replenished.
This was also the cause of the start of ship piracy off the coast of Somalia. The fish were plundered by the "big boys" and the Somalis were trying to make a living.

Fishing boat in this size, is a crime !, we have soon empty the sea for all life
One of the Australian fishermen who leased his licence to catch fish to the trawler's owners is now serving time for allegedly importing 1.2 tonnes of coke.
Greed and lack of caring for the local areas future is the standard of the big business fishing world. An area once visited by a big trawler is often fishless for two years or more.
It happens all over the world ie, France overfished their own fishing area in the Med until the area is completely barren and now are working hard at overfishing the British fishing area - then when the last fish has gone they will go and overfish on someone else´s fishing ground.
Every trawler is a treat to the world oceans
