 It's funny. All nation's fishermen say the same...
 Everybody is blaming other fishermen.

 I would say the fishermen fail to understand how fishing works... Not the physical
aspect of it, but the fact that the ocean and nature in general has a limit to its

is a serious attack on the population. Attack. The fishermen are attacking their
own livelihood.
