i have been sick a straight it because we tried to to cell dory of face of mafia all over the world . environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, roofless corporations corrupted government agencies and criminal cartels. with the boys boys of them design and on behalf of it. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah, the german shrimp industry is floundering low prices during the covered 19 pandemic and increased fuel costs are threatening the fishes livelihoods. they're dependent on the dutch wholesalers, they supply love,

the wholesalers know exactly what they need, so they can dictate the price the kill because i feel they just do what they want with us. christine clayvon, engineer from friesland to northern germany is developing a modern, shrunk peeling machine, which stands to liberate german fishes from their dependence on dutch wholesalers. humphreville. the shell is burst open by sound waves. that's the trick here they cancelled the system. ah, almost every night mike mushed at takes his boat out to the coastal waters north of claim a half and he's under enormous pressure. he's and very little in the last 3 years and narrowly escaped bankruptcy. he even considered selling his boat, but no one wants to get into the industry right now. fishing top now

high co reels the next and they've been trolling the watches for an hour and a half here along what's called the buttons. see, the water is just a few me to steep. they're hoping for a better catch than what they've had in recent months. they go, we've got a decent catch here. oh, boy. boy. oh, wow, looks pretty good. we've got 3 or 4 crates here. i'd say. like on really wow, they're big ones. well, the thought of heard of our conveyor belt is down today. it's an electrical problem all by slowly. that's not something i want to mess with. i won't try to fix it

myself on that of once i called the electrician earlier, but he'll probably come on wednesday. brussels woodcock will have to manage without for a couple of days. pica has to shovel in the shrimp by hand from prices had already fallen in 2019. then came the pandemic when locked downs and other restrictions affected the fishing season. retail to mom dropped on live a white glove for 3 years. now. we've been living off our savings, one, but in the valuables it's not exactly from hand to mouth, but it's been getting worse and worse little tool. when mid october, our steering system broke and the repairs cost me $10000.00 euros. i've been told them all of the old game, most of the level it was owned for them. and then in late november, the auxiliary engine broke. one moment, let me pull that was another 30000 euros gone. bill was last winter. really soc

lorenzo. hi co separates the bi catch from the shrimp smaller fish and starfish. go back into the sea. the fishes fish off when the tide is high and stay out at sea for 12 hours. mike went returned from his turn until sunrise when he calls haul, we come along. when i'm out on the water, there's no stress. it's just me on a stove. i'm the one who plans went to go out if you're on your own and you're free . well, pretty much all you need to keep calm. stress is no use to anyone. it was all over all provided you can't catch shrimp by force divided. come on, all kind of trim trolling is hard work. the shrimp up boiled live and see water directly on the boat. let's how

they taste the best one feet of them. you can see these spots turning white here. that means they're done off. that's when the meat starts to separate from the shell . after boiling the flesh turns pink or red. it's why the shrimp are sometimes called red gold. but the shrimp need to be peeled fast. most of the catch goes to the netherlands, where it's then send to shedding plants in morocco. they appealed by hand and end up back on the european monkeys. the smallest fish and pieces of shell of sifted out by vibrating says it's a good start. several crates full and one whole is unusual. mike and hike, i won't let in on where they quote these, the other fishes out to nice. we'll have to find the fishing crowds themselves.

eyeball. i go, how much do you have? 03 crates. great. bike this 3 crates. that's nearly $400.00 euros fuel at all. we'll. i'll have a grade for one and a half hours work before i'm happy. it makes going out worth it holds like almost 10 hours later they've hold up the next 5 more times. they filled 11 crates . one of their best catches of the year. ah. mm. by now they 20 kilometers is off the coast. time to head back to

mike tallies up the nights, catch. it's an excellent night's work. oh to it's white. oh guys you 130 kilos. to day, well go, that was great. i'm happy with all now i'm off to bed. the lot, all that out again tonight is the totals. ah burnett speak on noise felt can only be navigated at high tide. that's when the fishing tool is head in a dutch wholesale, it already has a refrigerated truck waiting to break the gym to their next destination. waldorf eugenio knox hoffman. they're headed to cooks hoffman to be sorted, preserved, and packed, and live. and then they'll go to the netherlands orland gisela hollow from there i imagine they'll go on to morocco. big muffled,

and they'll be back here in 4 weeks. oh no. i'm right, fresh. caught within them all call then dick appealed to morocco. i think because wages are low of their own by dab can just take the saw process and we freeze the shrimp there does docile. you know that's not allowed here in germany long so that he couldn't do that. here. marlins did a puzzle volkswagen. they normally set the price at the auction. it's a question of supply and demand more also, and the wholesalers know what they need. there was a ball, that's why they always dictate the price more the q him going moto rash lemma. worst thing is, you start fishing and monday, but you don't find out the price until friday. the can do whatever they want with us. then make a profit either way, you them upgrade. ah . the ton of outcome in the netherlands has been europe's from capital since the 19

ninety's. most ne shrimp are sent here and then shipped on to morocco. the gold trim company operates one of the country's largest sourcing plants. shrimp from denmark, germany and the netherlands are sorted by size and packed for transport. the netherlands is keen to support its domestic fish and shrimp industry. more so than germany, mo, glove at all. since opening his and selling plant in morocco, my taste funded plan has built up a monopoly and become a shrimp millionaire. together with his son, he is one of the largest buyers of german shrimp and his familiar with the complaints of german fishes about low prices. tom, sylvia, they pay a price, they hope will motivate the shrimp fisher store to stay in the harbor, but to go back out to see and the but i desire when the price is too high, people who eat shrimp don't buy them anymore. that's. that's how it is emma. all

the movie of all the has to pay more. but i'll be pushes down the price. looking at about 50 years ago, marty's funded place sent his 1st shipment of shrimp by truck to a purpose built shedding plant in morocco. soon he drew more investors to day more than 5. i wasn't him for years work for the dutch industry. that gives dutch wholesalers an edge. and dutch fishes also have a better deal all on good. the 1st we have 0 in the netherlands. we have shown fishers who catch large volumes and they make good money. they all are the dutch fishers always follow the shrimp moment, gunners at the moment, the best characters are in denmark, on the canal. it can go out fishing at wind force of 7 or 8, only the germans have smaller boats and can't go out of wind for 7 or 8 and they be risking their lives. and is as waves prevailed. funny cliff used to be

a shrimp wholesaler himself, but he sold his shares long ago, making him a multi millionaire pipeline. the company he co founded is the biggest in the shrimp industry. to day this shedding plants and morocco have helped them dominate the european market. but the company was not willing to grant us an interview. ah, transition in the north german harbor of claim and have smaller vessels. they nate only around a quarter as much room as the dutch competitors all have schmidt hoped to retire last year, but couldn't find a buyer for his chola. he put in a double shift to day to help compensate for the losses of the last 3 months. the past 3 years have been the worst crisis he's experienced over

a 40 year career. prices are too low. the fishing season was restricted, and the catch was poor. i think it 10 crates in 24 hours of fishing. i should have caught twice as much during that time. it is likely just to break even a bit of it varies with no holes go. i'm going home now off to bed. his rental 1st be taken to produce his association and cooks often and then on to the netherlands with his brother to ne and his friend hall. if he sells a small portion of his catch directly to tourists and locals, it's an important source of extra income. i live one kilo

line of holiday my wife called yesterday thought. all right, so you want a kilo, right? like kilo and a half i my body let's zanik optic on that. if we hadn't had this last year, we would have earned a lot less. oh, why we didn't earn much anyway? if you cooked with an offer bought, we sold a bit more directly and at the price they're actually worth nothing. they cost $10.00 euros, and if someone says that's too expensive for me, fine. but how was your from why, why couldn't i told a customer once i need to make a living from this? you can go and buy a brought worst for 3 years if you like. if you have a choice, i don't, most of them understand that. oh man, that's liable. that's still another one. that won't be there. always good. hello. fresh his best into every day. i'm kinda anti the guns guns like squeezed,

gently here at the tail and pull it off a little bit. and then you have the meet with her with 4th ring up from the tail boilers and about a 100 other fishes found at the producers association. almost 10 years ago, together with manager chi honest schmidt, they want to make german shrimpers more independent from the dutch and gain is say, and the price but they're shrimp still have to be sent to morocco for painting. so gaining independence from the dutch wholesalers has eluded them. the dutch still set the prices, transport the trim to morocco, have them peeled their ship them back to europe and sell them. the german produces

association hasn't been able to break this monopoly. that you lesson n, as in grandma, our goal ultimately is to market our shrimp ourselves at or does then we could for instance, fried some shrimp when they're cheap and sell them when they're more expensive on stuff. well, not home. oh, we had 100000 euro starter capital and wanted to turn that 100000 euros equity into an investment of 2.5 to 3000001. so 1st you need to find a bank that has faith and you are there for the advantage as i see it, which of course to partner doesn't care about as much art of as that are. association is now debt free, and we're on the way to raising our next round of equity. so we can take the next step i want to lagging and through haul food to live. it's often one thing about fishers is they are impatient to gain fast and fisher or fight. it is fishers and patient by nature and expect results fast,

or they would have opted schnell or general tardies. an engineer from friesland is also involved in the attempt to gain more independence from the dutch and they partners in morocco. christine, clever as friends, fish. his daughter is a mechanical engineer. she wrote her master's thesis on trim shelling to this day. it's a process that has defined automation in speak, annoy, felt she's inspecting one of the few shrimp peeling machines in operation. the machine has never been used on a larger scale. this shelly machineworks mechanically. it opens the shells with round thin blades, but can only peal around 60 killers of shrimp and our an employee has to

remain at the machine to handle malfunctions and to check the product. otherwise, too many shrimp and up and peeled in the waste container. christine clever, is now developing a new machine that's far more efficient. it does not have to be constantly monitored and will be able to process up to a ton of shrimp per hour. this would be the 1st time that machine schilling could work on a large scale that he has yet, and this is a handful of the waste which comes out of the machine engineer. the thought it should only really be shell parts design. he has a wrong, but here we have one that wasn't completely separated from it shell under shadow here. and here's another where the meat is still on it. on hank, as you see that the yield is extremely low, which makes it unappealing. mac had one act ocoee as

a volunteer. al machine is designed to work with the shrimps resistant sob, either or impedance as a physicist would say, hi, this is father. either iraq, an ac, v dash then that this resistance can be overcome by sound waves. that's the trick behind this on this machine to him, so you still have to peel some of the shrimp by hand. christine clever invention would eliminate that. she's convinced that using special sound waves to crack, the shells would be more reliable. the longest come as long as we have the shrimps, the mechanical shelling is better for a company. and the demand for shrimp is there. we've gone up life, often, mostly for tourists and hotels, right? oh, fly, live. mostly for private buyers. they come to us because they don't want shrimp that's been shipped half way around the world. either. it's an issue for a lot of people, the transport and its impact on defensive either,

some differing as of yvonne if we don't want to be cheaper, the morocco. shrimp is still a product that's worth its price by. we know the fishes don't earn what they should on my feet. um, like, our goal is for the fishes to make a bit more money. hm. and the quality of the ship mate will be better than the product for morocco. because we don't have to do as much to preserve the means. if we do the shelling right here, we have not been shipping. if you think about it, the shrimp from morocco, a preserved in liquid, so they keep for 6 months, that's the preservatives. they just don't taste like real shrimp anymore. we can bring the original flavor back. christine clave as 1st model is promising. now she wants to build an optimized prototype, but key parts are in short supply and there is another unexpected obstacle. down the home,

the reason i can't and i don't want to show our machine at the moment is although the german patent is secure. we also applied for european one a notice of opposition was filed last year that we were able to ward that off. i've been corn then the next notice of opposition came in though deprived the question that springs to mind is, who was working with these lawyers that wasn't given over that when pretty sure it's one of the major competitors on on the huge in the fishing business is f, as i and i have the resources to keep filing notices like emitted as a life big answer been. she's now getting support from the state of lois saxony and the tune and institute of c. fisheries in play. ma, half estate research project provided her with 2300000 euros in funding . now a team of 7 is working to optimize the machine to be as last night,

a maritime says the ologist believes the project could have enormous benefits for the region. the handle spear home can differ shots with a shrimp fishers have next to no leeway at the moment to respond to crisis, to sneak dollar. that's because they have no choice who they sell their shrimp to the ne shrimp hobble will malta got neither co, most of it goes to this quality monopoly of miced. if they have an alternative have supported by an effective new showing technology not and a regional value chain, then part of the catch could be sold that way else technique. and i realize that shuffles couldn't crunch. i'm tire a maybe one day. we could have smaller showing facilities right near the harbor, sensing that line. and she lost, i little, little collin, here from stockton woodson. what does this info or what might be more economically efficient? one large regional, showing, planted with a larger production line route on our course when federal senior within 3 years,

they hope these plans will become a reality. the sun banks of the garden ceased stretched out for miles into the open voices. they offer unique habitat for scenes, birds, shrimp, and other creatures. ah, the passions formed by the nazis ebb and flow are only visible at low tide. the fishes have adapted to the rhythm of the tides. ah, high tide is when they return to the harbour. home at last, mike and high call once you get to bed soon, so they can head out to sea again tonight. but before that they make a shrimp salad for a late breakfast with kevin official from a neighboring village. we bow onions quart gurgainus and trem. that's all,

just add salt and pepper. high co and kevin both come from fishing families. only mike comes from a different background. he trained as a painter before he discovered his passion for the sea on a north sea holiday. livable but his doubts about his future as a fisher are growing the whole is the new shrimp peeling machine array of hope wrong. well, they're still developing it. it's wider force also shoot me a moment here. the main thing is that our pattern doesn't go to the netherlands, know why, but otherwise we'll never be in charge of our own business. we need to get a bit of monopoly going to one. if not, the dutch will control everything same as always in the netherlands. dressers are valued, but not here in germany. they like to keep you small. here you might say, weak and powerless, though to produce much out of the german government does nothing for fishing on the

country. a foggy, but none of them are optimistic about the future. on many fishes have been bankrupted by the crisis of the recent years. those who are left like mike face a tough battle christine clever, is paying a visit to her parents here in the north of germany. her father, gunter clever, was himself a shrimp or before becoming an e. u fishing official. now here it's a small producers association. he's a big supporter of his daughter's plans and helps with organizational matters. she shows him pictures of recent tests of the special soundwave technology. you hear the 1st one, so if you're a 5th of shell that have been blasted off and down here are more bits of shell. i can scroll it up and others, right. and he, you can see how much meat there is. that's interesting. on the photo, we want to get this much meat off every shrimp as all my even when you sheldon bye

hand. this bit is usually broken off. for her 1st attempt, christine adapted a machine that was originally built for another purpose of his asthma as, as, as the 1st step on. if you can see, we had to bring the shrimp to one point anchor because the machine we're testing is just too big, like a hub. i'm so we put the shrimp in a bag of water, cup and bite. as you see here was my hit options and she wants to keep the details of her invention, a secret to protect her patent application from the competition, the boyfriend and of the machine of mark. they want to prevent the machine from coming to market invest warren in the medical, the investors in the morocco shelling plants have invested millions on vending and she'll get the shelling could be done here in the region. again, their investment would be obsolete when i 1st was on over to fisher susie east us

her. since, but in the past it's always been the fisher's who had to pay the bell. and most of the 1st parish mid after just recently, mushy. my hope is that this machine and bringing the shelling operation back to our coastal region could break up the monopoly of our dutch wholesalers, one up ne madonica blocking via miss hudson. it will take a while. we estimate it will take 8 to 10 months until a small prototype is ready in one. and then we'll have our 1st and peeled shrimp. it's the asked home problem. ah, maybe one day, one of his shrimp shilling scenes will be right here, inflaming ah, my less and his friends me up to smoke some fish. ha! a cancer like, oh, laugh most of his friends have spent their entire lives fishing level so heard

about the new invention. haley, this is a great herbal, the cur, currently cool young. my from funnel from good here. in the principal, i think it's a good idea. and as with before, you knew it didn't global stuff, it really works then i think it has a chance us or our region has a chance to grow a bit. do you think your phone's not a dad wish and we know this is roxanne, this is jen point. it's something we've noticed too that professors did feed a flag has got and we're selling shrimp by the boat. people often ask if we have peeled ones where might us unbeaten current if we could offer that at a reasonable price, a lot of people would buy them pies that's burned. feet of customers would buy peeled shrimp, the vertical political, the mike and hi,

co head out again in the early evening. session. once more on the button, see normally they don't head out in the winter when storms and waves make fishing dangerous. but this winter, they both went out just to make ends meet. not electrical. i just want to get by. i don't want to get rich, but to make a decent living a vine a lot more than to be able to take a break from fishing from christmas till the spring. we don't want to get rich. we just want to live on fishing that does not for it. so do you like, ah, the coming year will be make or break for local fishes? they need fair prices and big catches to stay afloat. the new shining machine could be a source of o
