【跟着英剧练发音】South Pacific S01E06-E(在线收听) |
文本: After our cameraman left the Esperanza, Greenpeace continued their journey, and captured these images of the world's biggest purse seiner, with a capacity almost four times larger than the New Guinea vessel. It's a Spanish ship fishing for Pacific tuna to stock European supermarkets. The presence of such large vessels, from countries that have already over-fished their own tuna stocks, has riled the operators of local fishing fleets, perhaps with some justification. Some biologists have recently warned that tuna populations in the Pacific will be crashing within five years unless urgent action is taken. Perhaps it's time to think again about the ways we fish. These pole and line fishermen are Solomon Islanders, and this fishing is a local industry. They target specific species, and mature individuals. There's almost no bycatch - no seabirds, no sharks. And they can be selective - flicking juvenile fish off their hooks so they can grow and breed. Because it's impossible to hook every last fish in a school, some are always left to fight another day. And since the fish don't suffer for hours in nets, this meat is of a high quality. |
