4:30 pm
to play red light, green light with society around the world, i think we have to really weigh the public health measures related to cove it to literally everything else in our society. and i think once you do that, you realize that there's an aspect of this that isn't going away, no matter what is done and that these things aren't helping. and that this, this impulse disabled government has to do something if that thing isn't helping. and if all it's doing is causing other in silvery damage as a result of it, then we need to be looking at what actually does help. and more often than not, that's increasing the access to health care by deregulation and getting rid of the regulations that are making access to health care so hard. and then looking at the fact that there are just going disease kills people and that's not going to stop as a result of government action. yes, certainly raises a lot of questions about where the next year is going. is one, is we in for a 3rd way of this of this global challenge? spot, carbon 2020 vice presidential candidates libertarian policy. thanks so much for your take care on that story on all the international. thank you. well let set that
4:31 pm
last for this hour to see when i returned in half an hour with the latest global headlines. join us again with a full ah fisherman or not made. this is a different world. the fisherman visited regularly this morning world familiar book
4:32 pm
with chapters still to come is trapped is hopes assessment all like 20 fathoms deep, rocky bottom of the coast of maine. ah, was a good living to be made in the atlantic ocean. if anybody would go get there's a patch of water around in the try a seal island in contention between canada and the united states. northern government has suddenly become optimal for lobster. our population here is exploded . one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had made an canadian fisherman in these waters at the same time jousting for position and attention. so high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to partner,
4:33 pm
there could be costs that would be significant to post countries. border disputes don't go away. they discussed, or something's going to happen. in some ways, bob's ring is immensely complex. in another sense, it is simple and direct. see in the boat remain the ruling force in assault or a man's life in the quest to fish. thing that brings not only the rewards of toil but a sense of freedom. 6
4:34 pm
with
4:35 pm
for we just left the board of seal go long, graham and an island where each now little ship is. we're headed toward a giant seal island to go all of your traps in the great named brian got our president graham and perkins association. i started visiting before i got out of high school winette this over with with their idea of the vision. i thought initiative and i was able to enroll my break date under draft. every one of them are in the raise on 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.
4:36 pm
that's where most of the way it's going to go. i guess a lot of i v as it been getting more and more crowded every year. i think it's out of the median 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 doing the idea that i think what they would like to see have, are they like to leave eventually have almost like a drop off. there's been people creaking in the grey zone long before it was ever great. but the canadian government cut back on there for trolls of the line. so the americans were bridging undisputed. the water is actually one of my old vol . they claim that it is over the line. all of us today, the line that it on the inside with was not i came out to give either them and tell them that they didn't get a on the bottom. they gave it back. yes,
4:37 pm
i didn't walk home after 4 years of are you in about it? one of the americans that 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 of canada said just swipe with him. but he did the swipe of a band, and with him 2 weeks we were in line on our job. you know, i can on the on, you know, i think i'll go with that in that line. my own, it really is all are not in all all they don't like you can load with all you feel like you have to the event the available dependency property 20 years ago. there would have been hardly any boat from either side over time. the abundance of lobster has increased to made it more lucrative, and people have figured out, we want to get it cracked and those lobsters,
4:38 pm
we gotta finish it the same time they do. we're not bagging down their canadian waters. we're going to vision here on this granite ledge above this sheltered co begins his day one day in the life of one man. mm. the sea was its islands, place of business for a whole breed of men. 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,
4:39 pm
that determines whether the waters brown car, america for canadian. so this grey 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. he enters it in 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 bushel basket makes a satisfactory ketchel on a lobster boat. this is one of those days you get a hit 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,
4:40 pm
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 out. 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 scotia. the official u. s. position is that the child seal island is not now and never has been part of the nova scotia. this is the beginning of the conflict alongside the long legged war or when it comes to rest for the 1st time since daybreak.
4:41 pm
unload says cash and weighs it in weight shipping the market for most of recorded history, those waters were basically just exploited by mean fishermen in 2002, the canadians changed their fishing seasons to allow canadian lobster meant fish in the grease all during the summer the real pensions began then because there are so many more people fishing in most waters. my concern is 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 the potential of causing an ugly dispute. it could be magnified to the point where there could be cost. that would be significant to quote countries. mm hm.
4:42 pm
mm. 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 the could be because waters continue to warm in the state of may and it's pushing that
4:43 pm
the catch north in the 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 world 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, the issue is mc raise on impact the market for main lobster because that's really main product in it. and once it goes to canada comes back, is product of canada. then people don't associate it with main. the main brand is really what main sells, and it's not just a lobster industry,
4:44 pm
it's the tourism industry. and if we lose market share because of that, that can really hurt the industry. we're empowering ourselves to be more efficient or quicker with the actions. but with that comes a trade off, every device is a potential entry point for security at any machine can be it's an extension of traditional time. the defenders have always been one step behind the attackers. burnett. when one comes option in the offering, it's not a matter of, if it happens, it's a matter of went this
4:45 pm
was a bargain that was may 2025 years ago under a clinton. as a matter of fact, they've brought china into the world trade organization. the w t o, this was a quid pro quo that we're going to essentially give america a huge break on flat screen tv. but within 2045 years we're going to bankrupt the country and that's what's happening now. i officer is incredibly important here on the coast to me. it was worth more than $500000000.00 just to the boat last year. it's not just the captain. also, the crew are doing the wrong. it becomes a huge, huge driver of the economy on the house for trap builders, for boat builders, for all the infrastructure that goes into distributing lobster, one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. interestingly,
4:46 pm
it's not actually the price that has that much, but the volume has changed a huge amount up to the early 1900 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 area in if you look south of the gulf main places like rhode island and southern massachusetts, the lobster fishery there is basically collapse. beginning around that timeframe. lobster catches in the state of maine started to increase at an exponential rate. even when a water heater is morning, it's still cooler than the areas that they were leaving. we can see that species
4:47 pm
are steadily starting to move towards the pause. therefore other changes that are going on in the ecosystem. one of the really big ones who spend the decline of the ground fish like how to wear big creditors on tiny officers that opened up a lot of habitat for lobster to move into. the larger population has taken advantage of those environmental conditions and had a 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. 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 los with
4:48 pm
any for the hydro, like how you plastic, right? nobody good here. all this stuff made cables back in a big in these areas. ah. oh yeah. bob's or any time i wanted, i think i'm home and he did it. the old days used to board the boat, but it's illegal now. because of the like. 13 or 14 bounder i would say in jo, our main gate, that's part of the layer management strategy. let our guys in congestion areas integrate some of the hotspot
4:49 pm
with can i know my class 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 going to fire and oh, and if you don't stop, they'll speed engine. oh, but that's a general plan. u. s. coast guard the timelines in different directions at different time. and it's hard to tell where other people are on the blue one down below. as i know, canadian just by the way 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,
4:50 pm
they got all kinds of room but your actual throw a lot different than where you're belinda and you make a mistake and get on top. somebody else and cut you off. there's all kinds of people to bed conflict. sometimes you lose some friends. all part of it. we might have some fun on this one board there with my brothers lobster fish, my nephews labs to fish my grandchildren labs to fish in the blood in this community. main source of revenue is our fishermen. they keep st. lights going keep our cam rhodes paid. they keep going. if they were
4:51 pm
to lose that area, there would be a huge impact on the tamika. for 1984, there was no canadian in this area, there was no grace. so peachy 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 it's getting more dangerous every day. every lobster that's caught by a canadian is one last, not caught by an american dollars, not in the local economy, 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 box or job, port territory lose. so what fishman we have is crowded into the area already as it is this territory. well, the canadians have got a 110 square miles. why? so that's a pretty big job. that's what the biggest fear is not having
4:52 pm
a place to finish this community to be on the south for if you took them bottom line. i think it's time something needs to be done this before. 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 of the bottom line, they take me by boat, my gear, my crew push in jail. i but they come with a ball mile, the cutlass your and fish. so are you going to do better? somebody's going to be filled with this on this on that side. that's my and it's just a matter of time with me .
4:53 pm
when i started down here, you know, this was a one man patrol and now you've got 4 guys plus myself down here in this area. we enforce all laws of the state. the main main focus is commercial fishery. you know, before we may go to the grey zone, another way down there to hot area for all the so open to get there was fish in here after nominal in the last few years and people know that, i mean i test x when they do, they're going fishing, we had it again crowded medicaid each pushing them further in setting over talk more purpose. we had a couple of complaints when they think they get home and community. i know they
4:54 pm
would like us to enforce a law and we have no jurisdiction door. no longer on, i mean it's just that it's not going to drive them out. there's more comment on me now. we have back few years ago and he was like probably 9 to 12 boast on cleaning vessels, fishing or graham and. and now you got both from graham and capital bella, and always kosher fish. i've heard of rocking 45 volts, and a lot of these fishermen max, know they got a lot of investment in and they're not catching lobsters. things get rough temper fire. and i think that's where you conflicts dodge me.
4:55 pm
ok. i me i for recalls and 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 the fish in the garage when the good lord put the lot, fusion, the water he didn't say leisure for me or for graham and angel catching me if you can get along main lobster fishermen fishing where they're bothering our catch.
4:56 pm
let's get down and catch some of them before they do. the gravestone is really, you know, contributed to the economy on graham and, and, and we're 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 waters. but they were getting no economic benefit to canada to that fresh water that we consider to be or so he created a summer fishery. they went from one year we, we'd baby that you had the band and other years we thought up to a $130.00 so 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. the other guy get it? they want us michelle's bus, just the registry president where you're taking our lobsters and you know, the other guys, i know you're taking our lunch afternoon fishermen's association right
4:57 pm
now we're in the neighborhood of $2250.00 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, it's a way for the government of canada for the people of candidate continued, claim that piece of bottom that both the u. s. and you have the 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, our landings have almost double. so it's created 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. this is it do well, it was fishing ended. the fisherman go on unemployment because there was nothing to do and now people are working year round to bokes are getting larger engines. there's how she's being sold in bought 90 percent of people are driving vehicles. you know, the economy is great,
4:58 pm
but more lucrative. it's become the more money people are making them more nasty. people have become year of horror stories about having when he or charles towed into a ball or something, you go hook on to it for hours trying to get contracts out there. this big file around keeping yourself clear, the other guy basically that's the name of the game. and it's always a bit contentious to go there. 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 $100000.00 and 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 a long shot and help seems i would. it was a canadian boat, but it's,
4:59 pm
they're not coming to my house for think of, you know, and i'm not invited to. there's with for mallory ourselves to be more efficient quicker with our transactions. but with that comes a trade off. every device is a potential entry point for security at any machine because it's an extension of traditional time. the defenders have always been one step behind the attackers permit. when one comes option in the offering. it's not a matter of, if it happens, it's a matter of when a
5:00 pm
he's a guy, so deployed by poland as it continues to resist the tim small going to school and the border from by the roofs in order to reach the you the russian defense ministry slams the u. s. has hypocritical off to washington, criticized moscow for testing a weapon and spice when it's done exactly the same thing. nobody likes to pay more. on average, we have the money to do so. well, mainstream us media outlets repeatedly flame americans are better off on the throw . boyden display, inflation isn't a 31 year record. the citizens responded. this bad food and do things like different ways. i don't think you're.
