our pensions are low and i get $400.00 euros a month. to that's not enough to live off. when we catch a few fish because it saves us a trip to the supermarket at least. but this time they don't catch enough to cover the gasoline costs. are terrible a really poor catch up with you and i say that we've caught fish caught practically nothing that won't fetch anything it's hardly enough for a family lunch how can i say. they're catches have steadily dwindled over the last decade some fish have become rare for example they hardly come across macro anymore. the

6:08 am
it's just enough for a family lunch. i must here's our fish soup was ok yeah. i mean i knew his mother he says that much more in the past when they fished with dynamite. yes significant other do you remember when they cut your grass he had admitted to using dynamite a really great catch with big fish because he had to go to court they acquitted him because he had admitted to using a dime and to really get to the heart of this to get him on a statement that made you feel. that. you must be a part of me we had done something illegal but we had no choice yes we were really
6:09 am
desperate for the money we needed money for our daughter's wedding and i guess we have stuff like that from the bottom. and then it's time for a song about fishing. or you know obvious. that. that was the problem. was that it was. that it was. how many boats how many fish of course what kind of nets a used it to your geese collects data for the greek fisheries research institute he knows there's a legal fishing and a few protected areas in great courses. in fronts italy and spain. it's the m.p.'s. protected their yes that seems to work very
6:10 am
very good for the fishermen and their vironment there's always go combined. in these we haven't succeeded in doing. that that that kind of management. people people are afraid people are skeptical they don't trust thing grace they don't ask the state and the state doesn't have the willing do what's the see if for example this area maybe now for a lot of years the police maybe who don't know have a board for 10 years now here in the board so actually how they will do it. people coming in they've also lives in mistah. and your views trust him against arsenal being full of it do you know anything about the trawler and apathy kobe and i think it is a turkish it's bigger than ours when they were fishing last night. where they working with light. the boat was pulling some smaller ones i didn't see any lights but they
6:11 am
were travelling up and down all night long. i didn't understand what they were doing. and looking for fish. that's bad news a couple don't have a chance against the big vessels 97 percent of greek fishing boats a small they account for half of the fish caught 3 percent a big trawlers they catch the other half. only st nicholas. they could certainly do with some help from the patron saint according to your thursdays a usually unlucky days i get the weather changes for the worse or other bad things happen.
6:12 am
lou last night the nets will cost a good spot. mary kay if you go right on up all right. ok here are you. bought one small on the nets appear to be almost empty. out we used to catch 10 kilos of fish with this 300 meter net that was ok we didn't have any problems let's get it but these days today disappointing.
6:13 am
the way that. a monk seal has clearly beaten them to us. would go off the bat if a monk seal gets at the net that it leaves the fish in trails behind you can see that here it was a seal the up in the top going to hook up on what they call a take out the fish but they only take the good parts out michael. and they leave the heads behind. only a few fish a lift and they're not worth a loss like this one for instance. it has a lot of spikes that can really hurt if the spines catch you it's really painful you know it's i pardon me but i've taken 2 aspirin and then i hope i won't feel
6:14 am
anything ever again. maybe they'll find something in the next close to the rocks. that. i don't care but because sometimes we obviously. behind a few fish here and you snap them up. they're considering taking their boat somewhere else for the next few days the monk seal seems to be following them and there's nothing they can do about it the mediterranean monk seal is among the world's most endangered marine animals. out there which is. difficult because. again if you have caught to diddle to sail.
6:15 am
in the evening. or the. others in the port of mr have obviously had better luck and found more fish in their nets at least enough to sell to the fishmonger who comes down to the harbor every morning some of the catch included more valuable kinds of fish. feed. you didn't. know. when they used to be 30 fishermen working out of this today there are fewer than 10 if you media is the only woman among them . that out of an awful now the other fishermen are afraid of me i don't know my husband is reserved if other people do something and they go or create problems for

it but he knows what he's doing. and that if he's frightened of the story he doesn't want anything to happen to me of or to him at the airport once he went to pull in the nets and fell into the sea. but it did not come. next. that sailed quite a long way out despite the unsettled weather it seems to be paying off.
6:24 am
finally some big fish to. you normally only see big fish like that in the fish farms to mistah. they won't tell anyone where exactly they cost their nets. the other fishermen are they competitors off to roll. me you or they take a quick look at what the fish costs in kiosk town expensive of course buy to daughters lots of cases. they stop for
6:25 am
a coffee at the fish market. when the boarded up in the manager of the fish market dino stupid is an old friend of this he's very worried about the future. the only way of protecting the fish stocks would be for no one to catch anything in april and may no matter what method they use should be in fishing in those months. but i would think their leaders upshot of this guy yelled at me again that's what we said to. him if you go no more none of them and they should stop the big trawlers putting out to sea from august to october and from april to may look over the actual come up in a bit of an opening to give my. they should give the fish a chance to breed and to grow in april and may. if the troll is keep on fishing the way they do one day the waters could be completely devoid of fish. now that hey larry how are you guys are you
6:26 am
sleeping. because they have to do something and i used to have to stop the trawlers coming out to hear the coast well now then we would have big fish again and enough work. because that is more than you i make us with the ticket do a choice has been an issue well like. that's i hope people will eat fish so we earn some money not give. them for another make a catch. $1000.00 stupid scorpion fish has done me again again dad. what does the future hold their children a very unlikely to return from the us should they agree to allow they wouldn't vote to be destroyed and accept compensation from the e.u. like so many others have they might get more than $50000.00 euros for it.
6:27 am
