- Tu connais la nouvelle ?
- Dis-moi.
- Le Figaro en a parlé. Il paraît qu’il n’y aura bientôt plus de poisson dans l’Atlantique. "Au rythme de la pression industrielle actuelle, qu’ils disent, dans dix les grands prédateurs (thons, morues, flétans) seront éteints).
- Tu rigoles ?
- Pas du tout.
- Ecoute, RFO a interrogé le directeur d’Archipel S.A.. La pêche est réglementée ; il n’y a pas de souci à se faire.
- On peut dormir tranquille alors ?
- Oui.
- Mais dis-moi, qui a écrit le rapport dont parle le Figaro ?
- Des scientifiques.
- Sur quelle base les quotas sont-ils définis ?
- Sur des bases fournies par des scientifiques.
- Ce ne sont pas les mêmes scientifiques alors ? Mais dis-moi...
- Tu commences sérieusement à me les briser...
- Qui sont les scientifiques qui disent qu’il n’y aura plus de poisson ?
- Je ne sais pas.
- Tu ne crois pas que ça serait une bonne idée de vérifier ?

EXTEND GRAND BANK FISHERIES

Extend Grand Banks fishery, urge Newfoundland residents Last Updated Wed Feb 27 09:26:23 2002 ST. JOHN’S - The movement to expand Canada’s 200-mile fishing limit off the Grand Banks was met with resounding support during a passionate public meeting in St. John’s Tuesday night.
Federal officials warn that foreign overfishing is eroding Canadian conservation efforts. At a meeting of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization in Denmark last month, the Canadian delegation presented evidence of foreign overfishing.
Canada’s delegation head Pat Chamut said regular violators of the fishing limit include the European Union, Russia, Estonia and the Faeroe Islands. Canadian members presented a number of conservation efforts, but they were voted down.
FROM Feb 1, 2002 : Canada accuses foreign fleets of overfishing Grand Banks
Canada extended its fisheries jurisdiction to 200 miles 25 years ago, but did not include the rich fishing waters of the Nose and Tail of the Grand Banks.
Earle McCurdy, president of the Fish, Food and Allied Workers Union, said the omission has cost the province dearly.
"It’s a bit like the old cliché about the operation being a success, but unfortunately, the patient died," said McCurdy.
One of the original architects of the 200-mile limit said he has no hope the international community will give up the nose and tail of the Grand Banks to Canada, and warned that any unilateral extension on Canada’s part will bring economic or even naval intervention.
But Leonard Legault said Canada can shift the focus onto the European fishing community.
"We can act, we can be bold, we can be daring. We don’t have to put ourselves on the line. Let’s haul the Europeans up before the International Court of Justice," said Legault.
And many residents who have seen the once productive fishery degenerate agreed with Legault. People lined up at the meeting to accuse Ottawa of losing control of the Grand Banks, and of letting down the people of Newfoundland.
White Bay resident Father Ed Brophy says a tough part of his occupation is having to watch local families pack up and move away.
"I think that the collective spirit of rural Newfoundland has been broken. Like, what other coastal country would allow what’s going on on the nose and tail of the Grand Banks," said Brophy.
