ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. when i was reading the guess on the world politics sport. business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. ah, ah ah ah. ah. a ah with

02 . 0 oh. oh, fisher or not made. this is a different world official visited regularly this morning world. familiar with chapters still to come is trapped is hopes assessment all like 20 fathoms deep, rocky bottom of the coast of maine. a good living to be made in the atlantic ocean. anybody will go get there's a patch of water around in the try

a seal island in contention between canada and the united states, where they got the main to suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations years exploded, one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had me in canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and tension or high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to quote countries. border disputes don't go away, they discuss some things going to happen. in some ways, bob's ring is dimensionally complex. in another sense, it is simple and direct. see in the boat remain the ruling force an assault or a man's life. and the question to fish. thing that brings not only the rewards coil, but

a sense of freedom ah . 6 ah

with we just left the board of seal go long graham and an island where erie now little ship is. we're headed toward a seal island to go all out of your traps in the great named brian got all our president graham and perkins association. i started visiting before i got out of high school and that does everything with.

this is their idea of the vision. and i was able to enroll my vision under drab. every one of them are in the right zone. this area water, ears close. and when you come to law and you'll see the gears great up on it, that's the most lucrative spot. that's where the most the guys are going to go. that's where most of them way it's got to go. i guess. the last 4 of i v has it been getting more and more crowded every every, every year? i think about a 1000000 government ever get control of some of the grays on that. they never really had full control of it. all they do is to cause enough conflict issues during the idea that i think where they would like to say, yeah, i like those either visual and have almost like a drop off people picking him agrees on long before it was ever

a great. but the canadian government cut back on there for trolls of the line. so the americans were breaking undisputed katie water is actually one of my old vol . they claim that there's over the line over us today. the line that it on the inside with was not. i came out and all them that they didn't get a lot of the bottom. they gave it back, i guess they didn't want to walk home after 4 years or are you in about it? one of the american said, if you want, i mean economic benefit out of that in the summer dawn when you're not vision, you better come visit with the guy from the government again said just the swipe of a fan buddy at the swipe of a band and with him 2 weeks we were here the line on our job, united states, i can on the other. you know,

i think i'll go with was ally claimed was on, is it really is the all american not in the home is only so much you can load the more you feel like you have to that event the available dependency property 20 years ago. there would have been hardly any boat from either side big over time. the abundance of lobster has increased to made it more lucrative, and people have figured out. we want to get it cracked in those love. first, we gotta finish it the same time later. we're not bagging down their canadian waters. we're gonna fish it one day in the life of one man. the sea with its islands, place of business for

a whole breed of men who don't mind wet feet. canada m u. s. share a 5525 mile long border. and this is the last piece of land that are still contesting after more than 200 years of border making. so much try a seal island north rock. actually, depending on whether they're american or canadian, that determines whether the water is around them, car, american, or canadian. so this gray zone, it contains a fairly rich harvest of lobsters. but it shall job for the lazy or the fearful. at the right moment the man eases his motor rolls, his wheel pulls his clutch with his gaff, he brings the war up aboard. the enters at the snatch blocks, takes a couple of turns around to winch head, and the hoist to take over the work. the trap breaks water in his hold on deck.

a bushel basket makes a satisfactory ketchel on the lobster boat. this is one of those days you get ahead . this is where the border now and that is the agreed upon border between graham and an island and the coast to maine. and the reason there's this david here is that if my child feel island, which is here, is canadian, the canadian say this is the border that would exist. united states actually basis it's claim on a channel called the northwest channel that runs along the ocean floor here. that creates this greys all. it's all based on whether we try a seal island is american or canadian. when revolutionary war was over, the peace treaty was signed in paris. so the treaty said that all islands within 20 leagues of the coast of the newly independent 13 colonies would be america,

except any island that had ever been part of nova scotians. the official us position is that the chinese seal island is not now and never has been part of nova scotia. and this is the beginning of the conflict alongside the long legged boy or wish to come to rest for the 1st time since daybreak. loads his catch and ways it in a way chip into the market. for most of recorded history, those waters were basically just exploited by mean fishermen in 2002, the canadians pain their fishing seasons to allow canadian lobster men fish in the grades all during the summer. the real pensions began then because of just so many more people fishing in the waters. my concern is that there is no country in the world that's more important to the united states and canada. and to allow an issue

like this to sit there with central, causing an ugly dispute. it could be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to post country with with we've been in the business for a little more than 10 years. there has been a huge increase in the landings. not too long ago, it was 20000000 pounds,

305060 1000000 pounds. and then it got to be maybe a $100000000.00 pounds. when i got to that point, people really started to take notice. lately i spent about a 130000000 pounds. so it's been a huge increase in supply it could be because waters continue to warm an estimate and it's pushing that the catch north in the catch seems to be going down more to mid coast and beyond, which is what we called down east main. and which is often called way down east is called the greys all right. along with canada, there's definitely more landings in that area than the word 10 years ago there's. there's no question about it. but i think that people, for the majority of people feel that we're at our peak and landings right now, i think that's on the front of everybody's mind. so at this point,

a issues mc grey's own can impact the market for main lobster because that's really main product in it. and once it goes to canada, it comes back as product to canada. then people don't associate it with main. the main brand is really what main sells, and if not just to launch the industry is the tourism industry. and if we lose market share because of that, that can really hurt the industry. with

one that makes no sense, you know, born is under a piece of flesh as emerge. we don't have with the we don't the vaccine whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, come in crisis with we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with oh, when i want something wrong,

i just don't move any world yet to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. i satcher is incredibly important here on the coast to me. it was worth more than $500000000.00 just the boat last year. it's not just the captain. also, the crews are doing very well, it becomes a huge, huge driver of the economy on the house for trap builders, for both builders, for all the infrastructure that goes into distributing lobster, one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. interestingly,

it's not actually the price that has that much, but the volume has changed a huge amount up to the early $900.00 ninety's. they were only landing about 20000000 pounds in 2016, we landed 131000000 pounds. but even with all of that year to year change, the landings haven't been uniform across the state. ah, the water temperature, dr. biological prophecies for lobster and as water warm, it is possible that those biological processes could break down over the last 10 to 15 years. government has one faster than 99 percent of the global ocean area in if you look south of the gulf main places like rhode island and southern massachusetts, the lobster of fishery there is basically collapse. beginning around that timeframe . lobster catches in the state of main, started to increase at an exponential rate, even when the water heaters morning, it's still cooler than the areas that they were leaving. we can see that species

are steadily starting to move towards the pause. there course other changes that are going on in the ecosystem. one of the really big ones has been the decline of the ground fish like how to big creditors on tiny officers that's opened up. a lot of habitat for lots are to move into the population, has taken advantage of those environmental conditions and how to boom, ah, what we're seeing is that the lobsters becoming a bigger fishery right along the border between the us and canada. and it's not a good scenario. they are competing for the same resources and yet they're living by different rules. large lobsters are able to be caught by canadians, but not by americans. and they are fishing with different types of gear. sometimes heavier gear seasons are different and that's creating more controversy, especially now that it's an increase in it so lucrative right now. it's a worry about what's going to happen to those with

before the end of hydro, like how you plastic like nobody good here. all this stuff made it capable of that in a big in these areas. mm hm. oh yeah. any time i wanted, i think the moment he did it, the old days used to board the boat, but it's illegal now. because of the like 13 or 14 pounder, i would say in jo our main gate, that's part of the layer management strategy there. guy making congest

very little grade for the hotspot with can i know my class the line over there in the sand, when you asked walters undisputed, there's a big boat with a big gun on it. but if you didn't stop, they'd tell you they're gonna fire in. oh, and if you don't stop, they'll steve bottling engine. oh, but that's the general black u. s. coast guard. the time runs in different directions at different time. and it's hard to tell where other people are on the blue on down below, as i know is canadian just by the longer with that might be an american down below is there too. was a lot of little bumps like right now with i'd like somebody come along and they,

they got all kinds of room, but your actual throw a lot different than where your balloon if you make a mistake and get on top somebody else and cut off, they're all going to be boulder bed complex. sometimes you lose all part of it. we might have some fun on this one chord there with my brother's lobster fish. my nephew's labs to fish, my grandchildren, lobster fish in the blood. in this community. main source of revenue is our fishermen. they keep street lights going keep our cam roads paid. they keep going. if they

were to lose that area, there would be a huge impact on the tamika. 41984. that was no canadian in this area, there was no grady. so ici goes by, they bring more and more fishman over, we're talking to the country. so it's a lot harder to resolve. different people get angry and getting more dangerous every day. every lobster this caught by a canadian is one last not caught by an american dollars, not in the local autonomy which we need drastically me. we don't have any territory. i can't go any further. i can't go any further to the southern because if you get into bucks or jones port territory lose. so what fish we have is crowded into the area already as it is this territory. the canadians have got a 110 square mile re, so that's pretty big job. that's what the biggest fear is not having

a place to finish this community to be on the staff or if you took that body why i use, i think it's time some needs to be done this. sure. we could have stop this before he started. if we had any political help, ah, our government does not come back us up as much as we need more back into my government. if i go over a lot of the canadian side on the bottom line, they take me by boat, my gear, my crew put us in jail. ah. but they come with a ball mile to the cutlass and fish. so are you going to do? bringing back somebody going to get filled with it on this on that side. that's my and it's just a matter with me

. when i started down here, you know, this was a one man patrol and now you got 4 guys plus myself down here in this area. we enforce all laws of the state of maine and our main focus is commercial fishery. you know, before we may go to the great zone. now there were down there to hide area patrol with the so open to get. there was fishing here after nominal in the last few years and people know that, i mean i statistics when they do their go fishing. we had it again crowded by mccaney, pushing them further in setting off my purpose. because i had a couple of complaints when they get home and community i know they would like us

to enforce a law in k for sure. we have no jurisdiction door, no longer on. i mean it's just that it's not going to drive them out. does more come in, i mean, now we have back few years ago and it was like, probably 9 to 12 boast down the cane and vessels fishing out graham and, and now you get a boat from graham and capital and always go for fish. i've heard of rocking 45 boat and in a lot of the fishermen max, know they got a lot of investment and they're not catching lobsters. things get rough temper fire. and i think that's where you conflicts dodge me.

on. i me. i for recalls degrees only because once the battle started over, it is kind of became a bit gray as to who actually on that i was actually the 1st impression efficient or when the good lord put the lob fusion the water, he didn't say leisure for manger for graham and angel catching me, if you can get along main lobster, fishermen fishing, they're,

they're bothering our catch. let's get down and catch some of them before they do. the great joan is really, you know, contributed to the economy on graham and, and then we are contributing more to the provincial and federal coffers in any community. our shy because of the lobster industry. so nobody fished it from canada for years and years and years because it was more lucrative to fish sovereign canadian water. but we're getting no economic benefit to canada to that fetch water that we consider to be ours. so he created a summer fishery. it went from one year we, we've gotten maybe that we've had the band and other years we thought up to $137.00 big difference and hopefully it hopefully stays that way for a while. but most of the attention has been a boat is very high dollar value and everybody wants it. they don't go to get it. they want us to resolve. plus just the average dispute president where it's you're taking our lobsters and you know, the other guys, i know you're taking our lunch afternoon fishermen's association.

right now we're in the neighborhood of 20250 members, both captains and crew, and that probably one of our highest points right now. it was really of more of a sovereignty issue. when we went down there is, it's a way for the government of canada for the people of canada to continued, claim that piece of bottom that both the u. s. thank you, have a claim and it's a way for us to drive an economic benefit from that thought that we weren't able to before. over the last i'd say 5 to 7 years or landings have almost double. so it's created a really a year round economy here on the island. it's like a domino effect because, you know, at the fishery does good than the small businesses do. well, things fishing ended, the fishermen go on unemployment because there was nothing to do. and now people are working year round to folks are getting larger engines. there's houses being sold in bought a 90 percent of people are driving the vehicles. you know,

the economy's great, but more lucrative. it's become the more money people are making them more nasty. people have become your horror stories about having one of your trials towed into a ball or something. you go hook on to it for hours trying to get contracts out there. this big file. keep yourself clear. the other guy, basically that's the name of the game and it's always a bit contentious together. i try hard not to be worse and i have to be, but there comes a point when you get pushed so far where you just have to say ok, that's enough. we're going to stay here because if i ask you to move somewhere and it's gonna cost you a few $100.00, you might go. yeah, well it's not that big a deal. it's gonna cost you a $100000.00 going anywhere. and that's what's happened. there's no warm and fuzzy down there. i mean, i've got some respect for some of their fishermen. i think some of them do for us. and you know, if somebody was thinking i'm going to go alongside help seems i would. it was

a canadian boat. but if they're not coming to my house routine coffee and i'm not invited to, there's further financial survival guide. i don't fight a i guy, i'm a teachers that's not an i'm with at the friday at the last time i buy it from the teacher. so crocker watch guys are important to all those driven by dreamers shaped as in a dares sinks. we dare to ask in
