A trawler was back from 14.00 until the night on Monday 17 December 2007
I am a local Kent fisherman. When the trawlers come no-one wants to go fishing. If the local fishermen complain about their nets being destroyed they are threatened by a security person on board with a gun. The thing that I don’t like is that the trawler uses a net that drags the bottom of the sea bed. It fishes in the areas that the fish go to breed and it takes the tiny little fish and everything else around. I want everyone to know how much damage the trawlers cost the local fishermen. We want these trawler stopped.
I have heard that the trawler was there when the people from the Amistad were visiting Kent village and Banana Isalnd
