Chapter 1001

Qin Shiou's performance in the fishing ground owners' tourism perception activity organized by the Ministry of Fisheries made him win the admiration of local traditional fishing ground owners. Therefore, when he called, Donald, Andrew and others came to his fishing ground with friends.

Donald said after seeing Qin Shiou: "you're right, Qin. If Dow Chemical starts to build here, once the chemical industry city is formed, there will certainly be other chemical plants. At that time, it will be too destructive to the fishery."

The owners of the fishing ground came with fishermen. Their arrival meant that there were more fishing boats on the island. Moreover, some people were armed and claimed that if Dow Chemical invited the police, they would have an armed confrontation with the police.

Hu Zhiyuan, President of the DPS Association, learned the news through his microblog. He delayed coming because he was organizing volunteers. This time, he brought more than 100 volunteers, including students and white-collar and blue-collar workers. These people wore uniform clothes with the sentence "wild animals pay for economic development", To satirize the practice that the provincial government of Newfoundland does not hesitate to destroy the natural environment in order to develop the economy.

Butler is most concerned about this. Daqin seafood is now his biggest source of income. If the chemical plant is opened here, no pollution-free fish will enter the market in Daqin fishery, and his biggest brand will collapse.

He couldn't bear it, so he contacted friends in the seafood industry and complained to the provincial capital of Newfoundland, asking that if Dow Chemical built a plant on the farewell Island, he would have to pay him a high amount of compensation.

The media of St. John's were moved by the news and rushed to the farewell island to track and report the incident. Their reports triggered the reaction of more fishermen. People continued to come to the farewell island to support the protests in the farewell town.

Fishermen rely on the sea for food. They are the people who hate factories most. Although the Newfoundland fishing ground is nominally collapsed due to people's indiscriminate fishing, research now believes that the industrial explosion that began in the 1980s and 1990s should also be responsible for it.

Even if the Ministry of fisheries has carried out almost all-round protection of the fishery, Newfoundland's waters still fail to recover one tenth of the peak output value, which is very incredible, because the marine ecosystem should have the ability to repair itself.

Fishermen can't find the reason. They seldom catch fish every year, and there are still not many fish in the ocean. Why is the reproductive ability of fish so poor? They can only blame the sewage factories for the impact of pollutants on the vitality and reproductive capacity of marine fish.

In just a few days, thousands of protesters from all walks of life gathered on the farewell island. The transport ship of Dow Chemical was still parked outside the Town Wharf, waiting for the company to send someone to solve the protest problem, and then enter the Town Wharf.

But now, seeing that the situation was bad, the transport ship immediately turned around and honestly returned to St. John's Wharf.

Fishermen put up long banners at the Town Wharf, which read words such as "protest against the government's inaction in restoring fisheries" and "we can't continue to damage the fishing environment". New banners are added every day.

Dow Chemical was very angry. They called the police to St. Johns, asked the police to send police forces to ensure the normal operation of their reasonable investment, and accused the people who bid farewell to the town through the media that they were mobs.

St. John's police station will naturally send out the police after receiving the alarm message, but Hamley asked the police chief to say it in advance. After arriving in the town, the mounted police just maintained order and did not participate in expelling the protesters.

Dow Chemical hopes that the mounted police will clean up the Town Wharf, but the mounted police don't take care of these things. They perform their duties to maintain law and order and don't go near the wharf.

The protesters on the dock are tough fishermen. They come with guns and live ammunition.

In contrast, the armed forces of the mounted police have fallen to the disadvantage, because their actions need to comply with the law. According to the regulations, when participating in such protests to maintain law and order, they can not bring real guns, but shields, batons and Taser guns.

In this case, the St. John's police should ask the special police to solve the problem, but Hamley suppressed the matter on the grounds that although the protesters held weapons, they did not use weapons and were not aggressive, so they should not send special police.

Dow Chemical places its hope on the provincial capital of Newfoundland, which is not easy to manage now. This is related to the Canadian regime. There is no direct jurisdiction relationship between the provincial capital and the town. The mayor does not bird the provincial council from time to time in this country.

Now, for Dow Chemical and the provincial government, the most difficult problem is the leatherback turtle habitat reserve. They didn't care about this at that time. They thought that farewell island was just a simple island outside the land. They didn't know that so many relationships were involved.

Canadians have a strong awareness of wildlife protection, especially where habitat reserves have been identified.

This event has successfully focused the attention of residents in cities around the North Atlantic coast. The topic of ghost ship and farewell Island protest have become the two most talked about things recently. Naturally, farewell town has the advantage in public opinion, because they are nominally weak.

Dow Chemical has stated their innocence to the media over and over again: they have no problem with the formalities, the sewage discharge is up to the standard, and the plant is bought with money. Why can't they go to the island to build a production line?

Saying goodbye to the town is even more innocent. Why build the chemical plant around their lives? Why doesn't Dow build a production line near its Ontario headquarters? What, Ontario does not allow the construction of agrochemical plants? Why doesn't Ontario allow Newfoundland?

Qin Shiou took his leatherback turtle habitat reserve and said nothing about the impact of building a chemical plant on his fishing ground. Instead, he said that if sewage is discharged into the sea, the jellyfish will accumulate toxins by filtering the sea water, and the leatherback turtle's staple food is jellyfish, and the leatherback turtle will eventually be injured.

The two sides began to wrangle over this matter, saying goodbye to the town. It doesn't matter how much they like to talk. They have nothing to do in winter and there are no tourists. Then the big children are idle on rainy days.

They want this matter to be bigger. They say goodbye to the island. Now they rely on tourism to support the economy. The greater the reputation, the better.

So after understanding this, the villagers of farewell town protested more vigorously, protesting to the media every day.

Dow Chemical can't carry it. They have borrowed money from the bank, and the talents and equipment are ready. If the production line is not put into operation one day, they won't make money one day. For enterprises, if they don't make money, they will lose money!

But Dow Chemical had no choice but to wrangle. The St. Johns police refused to expel the protesters by force. The wharf was blocked, and their transport ship could not get close to the island to transport the equipment.

For the first time, Qin Shiou thought it was good to live on such an overseas island. At least if he blocked the wharf in case of problems, he could play the role of one man in charge of the customs.
