a patch of water around the try a seal island in contention between canada and the united states. you know, where they got the main, they suddenly become optimal for lobster. our population here is 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 attention to 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 cost that would be significant to quote countries. border disputes don't go away, they discuss some things going to happen. in some ways, bothering dimensionally complex. in another sense, it is simple and direct see in the boat remain the ruling force in assault. what a man's life. the question. big thing that brings not only the rewards of coil but

1:34 pm
ah, with, with the idea of the vision. my valid vision is and i would still if again roll my birthdate under drab. every one of them early raise all 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 going to go. i guess. a more and more crowded every, every year. i think about a 1000000 government ever get control of some of the greys on that they never really had full control of it all with my on it cause enough on like an issue doing the vision idea that i think what they would like to say. yeah, i like those either have almost like
1:35 pm
a drop off. there's been people picking in the grey zone long before it was ever great. but the canadian government cut back on there for trolls of the wine. 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 is out on the gradient side, which was not. so i came out and divided them and all that they didn't get back. i've done a lot of them. they gave it back. i guess they didn't want to walk home after 4 years of or you know 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 of canada said just a swipe with a pin. but he did go swipe of a pin and with him 2 weeks we were live
1:36 pm
on our job that says united states more god can on the other. and i think i'll go which is that in that line, claim on it. and really you all are not all is only if you don't mind you can load the more you feel like you have to the event that the available event in the property 20 years ago. there would have been hardly any boat from either side over time. the abundance of lobster has increased, made it more lucrative, and people have figured out, and we want to get a crack in those. well, we gotta finish it the same time they do. we're not bagging, ma'am, or canadian waters. we're going to vision here on this granite ledge above this sheltered co begins his day one day in the
1:37 pm
life of one man. mm. the sea islands, place of business for a whole breed of men who don't mind wet feet. canada and us 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 i 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 showed job for the laser. you are the fearful at the right moment, the man eases his motor rolls, his wheel pulls his clutch with his gas is
1:38 pm
a war. the board enters it in the snatch blocks, takes a couple of turns around the wench head and the hoist to take over the work. the trap breaks water and his hold on deck bushel basket makes a satisfactory ketchel on a 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 main. and the reason there's this david here is that if my child seal island, which is here, is canadian, the canadian say this is the border that would exist. united states actually basis his claim on a channel that the call 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,
1:39 pm
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 which i seal island is not now and never has been part of nova scotia. this is the beginning of the conflict alongside the long legged war or wish to come to rest for the 1st time since daybreak. and loads his catch and weighs it in the way chip in the market for most of recorded history, those waters for basically just exploited by me. 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 so many more
1:40 pm
people are fishing in the waters. my concern is there is no country in the world that is more important to the united states that 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 both countries. mm hm. mm. with
1:41 pm
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. and lately i spent about a 130000000 pounds. so it's been a huge increase in supply it could be because waters continue to warm in the state of may and it's pushing back to 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 there were 10 years ago. there's . there's no question about it, but i think that people,
1:42 pm
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 issues meant 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 to canada, then people don't associate it with main. the main brand is really what main sells, and it's not just the lobster industry, it's the tourism industry. and if we lose market share because of that, that can really hurt the industry. a
1:43 pm
i saw a message from an unknown account because it had to sell through with my pulse board as its profile page. i saw pictures of my documents. it was they also sent a credit contract. i had just 3 days comply with their demands to see if i didn't send money or they sent up an online hate campaign because i was supposed to be a very dangerous man. with welcome to mac hazards, financial survival guide, looking forward to your best with yeah, this is what happens dimensions in britain del, at this app. if you watch kaiser report, ah, and i make no borders line to tease and
1:44 pm
you face as emerge. we don't have a therapy, we don't have a vaccine, whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment. 2 common 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 are in it together with i
1:45 pm
after 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 track builders, for boat builders, for all the infrastructure that goes into distributing laughter. 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 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 engine area in if
1:46 pm
you look south of the gulf main places like rhode island and southern massachusetts, the lobster fishery there is basically collapsed beginning around that timeframe. lobster catches in the state of main, started to increase at an exponential rate when a water heater is 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. therefore 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 wear big creditors on tiny officers that's 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
1:47 pm
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 those with any for the hydro, like how you plastic, right? nobody good here. all this stuff made a cake bulls that in a big in these areas. ah, oh, yeah, lobster. anytime i wanted, i think i'm home and he did it. the old days used to board the boat,
1:48 pm
but it's illegal now. because of the like. 13 or 14 bounder, i would say him joy maybe that's part of the layer management strategy. loretta guy been congest, very integrated from a hotspot with can i know boy 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 in. oh, and if you don't stop, they'll sparkling engine. oh, but that's a general black u. s. coast guard
1:49 pm
the tide runs 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 is 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, 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 it off. there's all kinds of people to bed conflict. sometimes you lose track all part of it. we might have some fun on this one border with my brother's lobster, fish,
1:50 pm
my nephews labs to fish my grandchildren lives to fish in the blood in this community. main source of revenue is our fishermen. they keep street lights going to our town. roads pays. they keep going. if they were to lose that area, there would be a huge impact on the downtown for 1984, there was no canadians in this area, there was no grady. so here 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 get more dangers every day. every lobster, this is 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
1:51 pm
territory. i can't go any further. i can't go any further to the southern because if you get into bucks 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. 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 we took them bottom line, i think it's time something needs to be done. this issue. 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 in from our government is if i go over a lot of the canadian side of the bottom line, they take me by boat, my gear, my crew put us in jail. ah,
1:52 pm
but they come with a ball mile, the cutlass your fish. so are you going to do any better? somebody's going to be filled with it on this on that side. that's my. and it's just a matter of time with me . 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 gray zone or another way down there to hot area for all the so open to get. there was fish in
1:53 pm
here. asher, nominal. and why people know that, i mean i statistics when they do, they're going fishing. you know that we had it again crowded by the caney, pushing them further in sudden, over talk from all purpose. we've had a couple of complaints when they think they get home community. i know they 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. does more come in? i mean, now we have back few years ago and he was like, probably 9 to 12 boast on the train and vessels fishing graham and, and now you got both from graham and camp, bella, and always kosher fish. i've heard of rocking 45 votes and a lot of the fishermen max, know they got a lot of investment and they're not catching lobsters. things get
1:54 pm
tappers fire and i think that's where your conflict stops. live on. i 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 is actually
1:55 pm
the 1st impression, the fish in the garage when the good lord put the lot of shoes in 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. let's get down and catch some of them before they do. a great job 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 water. but we're getting no economic benefit to canada to that fresh water that we consider to be or so he created a summer fishery. it went from one year we, we've gotten maybe that you had the band and other years we thought up to
1:56 pm
a 130000 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 get to go to get it. they want us to resolve plus just the out reg dispute president where you're taking our lives years and you know, the other gosh, i know you're taking early afternoon fisherman'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, 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. like a domino effect because, you know,
1:57 pm
at the fishery does good than the small, this is do well, things 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, 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 and do it for hours trying to get the traps out there. this big file about 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 push 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
1:58 pm
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 in going in. and that's what's happened. there's no warm and fuzzy stand 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, they're not coming to my house for think of, you know, and i'm not invited to, there's oh, we're seeing high levels, one certainty creeping in economic life. and i think we're all aware of the disruption of global supply chains with spike in the cost of energy. we're seeing a reappearance of inflation. and i think all of these constitute of the economy,
1:59 pm
scroll down to sign risks, which could mean the weather is still ahead of us. despite the moderation of the severity of a crisis, we're empowering ourselves to be more efficient, quicker with our transactions. but with that comes a trade off every device as a potential entry point for security at any machine can be. it's an extension of traditional to find. the defenders have always been one step behind the attackers. a one comes option in the offering. it's not a matter of, if it happens, it's a matter of when i
2:00 pm
a protest in europe is new, lockdown restrictions are imposed. violence to robs in the netherlands for a 2nd nice ball in brussels, the rec clashes between police and demonstrators. on the weekly this our we try to work out where it's all heading with a panel of guests. my response to the politicians. well you, when your case number's was slightly. hi. hi. hi, i still as me get you stuck one set of new role with a new policy. something else comes out there was a lot of let the politicians do what they want. they didn't follow some of the mandates they weren't wearing mass. oh.
