Formerly the world's first fishing port was called Newfoundland, and after 20 years of banning, there are still no fish to catch. It stands to reason that since fishing has stopped in its fisheries, there must be a lot of fish, but why is there still no fish to catch, and what is the reason for this?
At the earliest time, in 1534, the Newfoundland Sea, once located in the Atlantic Ocean, was accidentally discovered, and the scenery there was particularly eye-catching, not only the scenery, but also the many schools of fish. It is like the scene of fishing as recorded in the Peach Blossom Source Book.
Fish from Newfoundland fisheries
There for the local people. Not only is it a great place to take shelter and enjoy the scenery, but it is also a good area for fishermen to fish. Not only that, but the place where it was discovered was gradually called the world's fish farm by the locals.
The rise of Newfoundland fisheries
You know, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, because there are many types of fish and the number is large enough. At that time, it became famous for a while, and soon many people came to admire it.
It is understood that the islanders who have lived on Newfoundland for generations have been fishing for a living, and because of the abundant local fishing resources, the people who once lived here did not worry about starvation.
But the current Newfoundland fish farm is really a heaven and an underground, very different. Although today's Newfoundland fisheries also have some fishery resources, they can only be said to be thousands of miles worse than the original Newfoundland fisheries.
The original Newfoundland fishing grounds were vast in the cold winter season, but in spring, summer and autumn, the vast sea and blue waters whistled on the beach, accompanied by the slightest smell of the sea breeze, and a few people not far away were still smoking and stir-frying all kinds of seafood in the pot.
Newfoundland is close to the cold current of the North Atlantic and the warm current of Mexico, and under these conditions, there is a lot of plankton where the two currents meet, which are the best food baits for fish.
Most importantly, the Newfoundland fisheries were not polluted at that time, and there were not so many chemicals in those days, which created a natural paradise for the conditions for the fish.
Newfoundland fisheries are traditional large fisheries belonging to Canada. The main fish species in the fishing grounds is cod. At that time, you could catch a lot of cod in the fishing grounds. This shows how large the number of major cod in Newfoundland was at that time.
Because of this, Europeans began to go to Newfoundland fishing grounds one after another, and for a while, Newfoundland fisheries did not know how many Europeans were fed.
At the same time, with the continuous development of European manufacturing, foreign trade activities have gradually opened, and the vast fishing resources of Newfoundland's fishing grounds are the best commodities.
In order to sell the fisheries of Newfoundland's fisheries to the rest of the world, European countries began to open up new trade routes, which promoted the development of seafaring trade.
The decline of Newfoundland's fishing grounds
However, this also laid the seeds for the decline of Newfoundland's fishing grounds. At this time, people would not have imagined that just a few decades later, the Canadian government imposed a twenty-year ban on fishing, but after the end of the fishing ban, the Newfoundland fishing grounds were lifeless and difficult to see any improvement.
At first, they only enjoyed the delicious food at the table, and the traders who relied on the cod seller also lost their livelihood. The momentary greed made them regret it, and after regretting it, they silently prayed in their hearts, praying that Newfoundland would return to the beginning, if not the beginning, more fish would be good.
Maybe they had regrets, but when there were still fish in the Newfoundland fisheries, they were full of profit. In order to further expand the market and catch more fish, Europeans began to develop a variety of fishing equipment.
For a time, the catch increased rapidly, even catching tens of millions of tons a day, and it can be said that the fish in Newfoundland's fishing grounds were caught during this period.
As time went on, Europeans became more and more hungry, and more and more catches were made, and no one cared whether there would be any fish if they were caught out, they only cared about whether they could make more money.
The temptation of money is too great, fish in a variety of fishing technology and equipment, it is difficult to escape, whether it is large fish or small fish, can not escape the hands of fishermen, the number of fish in Newfoundland fisheries is gradually decreasing at this time.
At the same time, new countries continue to join the ranks of fishing, which leads to a significant reduction in fish in the fishing grounds, not only the number of fish falls to the "altar", but also the types of fish are greatly reduced, so slowly the fish are wiped out...
Later, perhaps genuinely realising that they could no longer be so brazen, or fearing that other countries would seize their own interests, Canada announced the Territorial Sea Bill in 1997.
The Act reduced the number of fish caught in Europe and other foreign countries to some extent, but these reductions were attributed to Canada.
It can be said that this law was enacted solely to facilitate Canadian fishing activities, and the fish in Newfoundland fisheries became less and less with the enactment of this law.
Soon after, it was difficult to catch fish anymore, and the fisheries ceased to be fisheries because they could not be caught at all. Faced with the current situation, the Canadian government quickly began to take action: ordering a 20-year ban on fishing in Newfoundland's fishing grounds. But sadly, there are no more fish in the Newfoundland fisheries.
Newfoundland fisheries give us a warning
Since then, Newfoundland has become a dead sea, and the world-famous first fishing port has long since collapsed. I think there is a past glory that warns us all the time.
That past history is to warn us human beings to cherish what we have in front of us, not to say that we only blindly absorb it, but also need us to defend it and protect it, let alone destroy the ecological environment for our own selfish desires.
I think no one can bear the responsibility for such a heavy price. Nature is great, it gives us all living beings and makes our lives vibrant and colorful.
There are many things that we humans cannot be inexhaustible, so we should protect them. Be grateful for its selflessness rather than disgust that it gives us too little. It seems that if Newfoundland had fished with a certain amount of moderation at the beginning, it would not have ended up in this way.
Today, many countries have rivers and marine resources are indispensable, and we must bear in mind the "blood lessons" of the past to properly fish for fishing, and designate a rest time corresponding to science so that fish can thrive. In this way, our ecological environment will be more stable and long-lasting, and the future will be more beautiful and unimpeded.
