    Qin Shiou¡¯s performance in the fishery owners¡¯ tourism awareness activity organized by the Ministry of Fisheries won him the admiration of local traditional fishery owners, so after he made the call, Donald, Andrew and others came to his fishery with their friends.

    After meeting Qin Shiou, Donald said: "You are right, Qin. If Dow Chemical starts to build here, once a chemical industry city is formed, other chemical factories will definitely enter. At that time, it will be too devastating to the fishery."  Big.¡±

    The fishery owners came with fishermen. Their arrival meant that there were more fishing boats on Farewell Island, and some of them were armed, claiming that if Dow Chemical invited the police, they would have an armed confrontation with the police.

    Hu Zhiyuan, the president of the DPS Association, had known the news through Weibo before. He had not come yet because he was organizing volunteers. This time he brought more than a hundred volunteers, including students, white-collar workers and blue-collar workers. These people were uniformly dressed.  The clothing has the phrase "Wildlife pays for economic development" written on it to satirize the Newfoundland government's practice of destroying the natural environment in order to develop the economy.

    Butler is most concerned about this matter. Daqin brand seafood is now his biggest source of income. If a chemical plant is opened here, there will be no pollution-free catch from the Daqin fishery to enter the market, and his biggest brand will collapse.

    This was something he absolutely couldn¡¯t afford, so he contacted friends in the seafood industry and complained to the Newfoundland provincial government, demanding that if Dow Chemical built a factory on Farewell Island, it would have to pay him high compensation.

    The media in St. John's heard the news and rushed to Farewell Island to follow up and report on the incident. Their reports triggered more responses from fishermen, and people continued to come to Farewell Island to support the protests in Farewell Town.

    Fishermen rely on the ocean for their food, and they are the ones who hate factories the most. Although the Newfoundland fishery was nominally downed by people¡¯s overfishing, research now believes that the industrial explosion that began in the 1980s and 1990s was also responsible for this.

    Even though the Department of Fisheries has carried out nearly all-round protection of the fishing grounds, Newfoundland waters have still not recovered one-tenth of their peak production value. This is very incredible, because the marine ecosystem should have the ability to repair itself.

    Fishermen can¡¯t find the reason. They rarely catch fish every year, and there are still not many fish in the ocean. So why is the reproductive ability of fish so poor?  They can only blame the sewage discharge factory, believing that the pollutants have affected the vitality and reproductive ability of marine fish.

    In just a few days, thousands of protesters from all walks of life gathered on Farewell Island. Dow Chemical's transport ship was originally parked outside the town's dock, waiting for the company to send people to resolve the protests before entering the town's dock.  .

    But now that the situation was not good, the transport ship immediately turned around and returned to St. Johns Pier.

    The fishermen pulled up long banners at the town pier, which read words such as ¡®Protest against the government¡¯s inaction in restoring the fishing industry¡¯ and ¡®Cannot continue to destroy the fishing ground environment¡¯. People came to add new banners every day.

    Dow Chemical was very angry. They called the police in St. John's and asked the police to dispatch police to ensure that their reasonable investment was carried out normally. They also accused the people in Farewell Town of being a mob through the media.

    When the St. Johns Police Department received the alarm, it was natural to dispatch police, but Hamre told the police chief about this in advance. After arriving in the town, the mounted police only maintained order and did not participate in expelling the protestors.

    What Dow Chemical hopes is that the Mounted Police will clean up the town¡¯s pier, but the Mounted Police don¡¯t care about these things. They perform their duties to maintain law and order and do not go near the pier.

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

    In contrast, the armed forces of the mounted police are at a disadvantage because their actions need to comply with legal regulations. According to regulations, when participating in such protests to maintain law and order, they cannot carry real guns, but can only carry shields and batons.  and tasers.

    In this case, the St. Johns police should have asked the special police to come out to solve the problem, but Hamley suppressed the matter on the grounds that although the protesters were armed, they did not use weapons and were not aggressive and should not be dispatched.  SWAT.

    Dow Chemical has pinned its hopes on the Newfoundland provincial government. The provincial government is now difficult to manage. This is related to Canada's political system. There is no direct jurisdiction between the provincial government and the town. The situation of the town mayor and the provincial council is not clear.  Nations happen.

    Now for Dow Chemical and the provincial government, the most thorny issue is the issue of the leatherback turtle habitat reserve. They did not pay attention to this at the time, thinking that Farewell Island was just a simple island outside the land.  I know there are so many relationships involved.

    Add?Adults have a strong awareness of the protection of wild animals, especially in places where habitat reserves have been confirmed, and their protection is all-round.

    This incident has successfully focused the attention of residents in cities along the North Atlantic coast. The topic of ghost ships and the Farewell Island protests have become the two most talked about events recently. The one who has the upper hand in public opinion is naturally Farewell Town, because they are  The nominal weakling.

    Dow Chemical has stated their innocence to the media over and over again: There are no problems with their procedures, their sewage emissions are up to standard, and the factory buildings were purchased with money. So why can't they go to the island to build a production line?

    The people here in Farewell Town are even more innocent. Why should they build a chemical plant near their lives?  Why doesn't Dow Chemical build a production line near its Ontario headquarters?  What, Ontario doesn¡¯t allow agrichemical plants?  Why the hell does Newfoundland allow it even if Ontario doesn't?

    Qin Shiou used his leatherback turtle habitat reserve to talk about the issue. He never mentioned the impact of building chemical plants on his fishing grounds. Instead, he said that if sewage is discharged into seawater, the jellyfish will accumulate toxins when filtering the seawater, and leatherback turtles will  The staple food of turtles is jellyfish, and it is the leatherback turtle that is ultimately injured.

    The two sides began to argue over this matter. It doesn¡¯t matter here in Farewell Town. You can argue as much as you like. There is nothing to do in winter and there are no tourists. So on a rainy day, big children-it¡¯s okay to be idle.

    They wish this incident could become a bigger deal. Farewell Island currently relies on tourism to support its economy, and the greater its reputation, the better.

    So after understanding this, the residents of Farewell Town protested even more vigorously, protesting in front of the media every day.

    Dow Chemical can¡¯t handle it. They have already taken out a loan from the bank and have all the talent and equipment ready. If the production line is not put into operation, they will not make money. For enterprises, if they don¡¯t make money, they will lose money!

    But Dow Chemical had no choice but to argue. The St. Johns police refused to use force to expel the protesters. The pier was blocked, and their transport ships could not get close to the island to transport equipment.

    For the first time, Qin Shiou felt that living on such an isolated overseas island was quite good. At least if he blocked the dock when there was a problem, it would have the effect of blocking the way.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
